Head coach Brenda Frese and company hit the recruiting trail hard as well as the transfer portal in order to retool the roster for the 2022-2023 campaign.
The Terps brought one of the top mid-major point guards in the country, Abby Meyers, to College Park after she graduated from Princeton University. Meyers was named Ivy League Player of the Year and helped the Tigers secure the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
Senior guard Diamond Miller will also be returning to the lineup after she missed 10 of the first 12 games last year.
