It’s hard for Maryland football coach Mike Locksley to contain the joy he has about his daughter Kori, who will be a graduate transfer on the Terps women’s soccer team after four seasons at Auburn.
Maybe it’s because Locksley can easily slide over to Ludwig Field to watch her games instead of him and his wife, Kia, enduring hours of flying and driving. Maybe it’s because she will be representing the school he has been coaching at for the past two years after first joining the staff in 1997 as an assistant.
“My family is here,” said Kori, a Silver Spring native who played for Good Counsel and McDonogh in high school.
