After taking an early lead over St. Joesph’s in 2023, Maryland women’s lacrosse midfielder Maddy Sterling took the field for the first time in her collegiate career as the No. 2 recruit in the 2021 class. Her sister, starting goalkeeper Emily Sterling, was overcome with joy to play alongside her for the school they fell in love with. They embraced one another after their first sequence on defense together.
“It’s like a feeling you can’t really describe,” Emily said.
While Maddy is a rising star on Maryland’s midfield unit as a redshirt sophomore, Emily is wrapping up her career as one of the best goalies in program history.
