COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Maryland women’s soccer head coach Meghan Ryan Nemzer welcomes the first wave of newcomers to the Terrapin roster for the 2023 season. The group is made up of players from eight different states, including two from Maryland and will join Nemzer for her second season at the helm of the program.

The class of 2023 is already reaching new heights, coming in as the #11 ranked class in the nation, and the #1 class in the Big Ten according to TopDrawer Soccer. The incoming group of Terps will be composed of two Top-60 prospects in the nation and a Top-25 prospect goalkeeper. This class also includes multiple players that have represented their country at the international level including the United States, Puerto Rican and Jamaican Youth National teams.  


Not only has this class had success at the national level, but they also have a long list of accolades with their respective high school and club teams including High School All-Americans, High School Players of the year, National Championships, State Championships, and ECNL Players of the Year. Along with their long list of athletic achievements, this group is composed of a strong group of students in the classroom, taking part in National Honors Society, Student Council Leadership roles and various other community service opportunities. 


Nemzer on the incoming class: “My staff and I are extremely excited about the depth and quality of our 2023 class. I would like to personally thank Joe Nemzer, Katie Ely, Alex Ng, Kenie Wright and Justine Stoner for all of their time and effort in making this recruiting class the best in the conference and one of the best in the country. This group is composed of not only highly successful club and high school players, but also high achieving students and leaders in their community. The 2023 class has an exceptional passion for University of Maryland and the future of this program. We cannot wait for this group to join us in College Park and work towards becoming Maryland Legends!”
