Liz Twilley always wanted to go to Maryland. Twilley was verbally committed to the program and ended up being one of the first big recruits for then incoming head coach Steve Aird and assistant coach Adam Hughes.
“She said that Maryland’s the school that I wanted to go to and that’s where I’m going,” Hughes said.
Twilley quickly evolved into a crucial part of Maryland’s attack. In her first two years at Maryland, she finished second on the team in kills both years, 355 in 2015 and 249 in 2016. In 2017, though, an influx of outside hitters forced Twilley to the bench.
