Maryland field hockey’s leadership starts at the very top.
Head coach Missy Meharg has become an icon in her 36 years leading the Terps (16-5), winning seven national titles and nine coach of the year awards. Her two captains this year, backers Rayne Wright and Maura Verleg, each earned All-Big Ten honors after starting every game this season.
But while most Maryland fans recognize Meharg, Wright and Verleg, one lesser-known Terp was recently awarded for her leadership. Last week, senior forward Logan Anderson was named by Maryland’s coaching staff as the team’s honoree for the Big Ten Sportsmanship Award.
