The future of women's lacrosse is here, and two Maryland Terrapins are leading the charge. In a landmark moment for the sport, standouts Kori Edmondson and Maddy Sterling were selected in the inaugural Women's League Lacrosse (WLL) College Draft, showcasing the elite talent brewing in College Park.
Kori Edmondson's selection was no surprise. A dominant two-way midfielder and a 2025 Inside Lacrosse First Team All-American, she was snapped up by the New York Charging with the fourth overall pick. Edmondson has been a force for the Terps, recently becoming the 30th player in program history to hit 200 career points. Her unique blend of offensive firepower and defensive tenacity made her a premier target, especially with the WLL's new 10-on-10 format placing a premium on versatile midfielders.
Meanwhile, Maddy Sterling's draft moment was a classic case of a player seizing her opportunity. Flying under the radar and absent from mock drafts, the graduate defender was a surprise third-round pick (11th overall) by the Maryland Charm. Sterling has been a defensive anchor this season, co-leading the Terps in caused turnovers and ground balls, proving that relentless hustle doesn't go unnoticed by professional scouts.
Before they trade their Terps gear for professional jerseys, both athletes have unfinished business in College Park. Their immediate focus is on helping No. 3 Maryland chase a national championship, a quest that makes their final collegiate games must-watch lacrosse.
In other Terps news, the men's basketball roster sees movement as freshman guard Darius Adams enters the transfer portal. On a brighter note, the team bolstered its backcourt by securing a commitment from Tennessee transfer guard Bishop Boswell. Over on the diamond, Maryland baseball delivered an offensive spectacle, erupting late for a commanding 15-7 victory over Towson.
