A day after six Maryland men’s lacrosse players received preseason honors, four members of the reigning national champion Maryland women’s lacrosse team were named to Inside Lacrosse’s Preseason All-America list Wednesday.
The Terps are tied with Syracuse and Northwestern for the second-most preseason All-Americans — behind only North Carolina with six selections.
Seniors Meghan Doherty, Brindi Griffin and Kali Hartshorn were selected to the second team, and junior Grace Griffin was chosen to the third team.
Doherty, a member of the 2017 Inside Lacrosse All-Rookie Team, has started in 65 games during her tenure in College Park, scooping 64 groundballs and tallying 45 caused turnovers.
Brindi Griffin was part of the 2019 NCAA All-Tournament Team after scoring nine goals in the Final Four. She completed last season with 44 goals and 24 assists and is the Terps’ top returning scorer.
Hartshorn notched 48 goals and secured 137 draw controls — the fourth-most ever in a season by a Terp — in 2019 and was an IWLCA Second Team All-American selection.
Grace Griffin, the 2018 Big Ten Freshman of the Year, finished with 45 goals, 57 points, 27 groundballs and 14 caused turnovers. The junior had seven goals on 10 shots in last year’s Final Four.
The Terps begin their season at George Mason on Feb. 8.
