Fighting For Each Other – University of Maryland Athletics

Nemzer highlighted newcomers in her class, such as Emily Lenhard, Ellie Egeland and Taryn Raibon, who she feels will make an immediate impact.

“I was very fortunate to have Emily Lenhard early,” Nemzer said. “I think she’s one of the best midfielders I’ve been around in a very long time. I’m excited to add Ellie to the mix as well. That will put the ball in the back of the net. I’m excited to see how she translates to the collegiate game. Then Taryn, from California, competed in one of the hardest conferences. I expect her to come in and be able to hang with the Big Ten right away.”

Nemzer also signed two Patriot League transfers: forward Delaney DeMartino and defender Brooke Tracey. DeMartino comes to College Park after spending the past two seasons with the Loyola Greyhounds. She was named Third Team All-Patriot as a critical player for a Greyhounds team that finished 11-6 in 2023.  

Tracey transferred to Maryland after spending the past four seasons at Bucknell while playing in more than 50 games and logging more than 5,000 minutes. She earned two All-Patriot League selections during that time, with her most recent coming in 2023 after leading the backline and allowing a 0.75 goal average. Bucknell’s defense finished with nine shutouts, helping the Bison claim their third-straight Patriot League crown and an NCAA Tournament appearance.

The two transfers add experience, leadership and past success to a young team that is ready to establish itself in a competitive Big Ten Conference.
