This is Sprink s third straight season as captain for the Terrapins. She helped lead the Terps at both ends of the field last season as Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and as the team s leading scorer. Tapman is a fifth-year senior that has worked to become one of the anchors of the Terrapins defense unit. Meharg on Sprink and Tapman - Sarah s daily commitment to hard, gritty work in a high performing training enviroment make her a logical choice as captain. She has developed to be the type of versatile leader that her teammates rely on. Kasey is the eptitomy of the word selfless both mentally and physically. On the field and off the field, she lives within the four Fs.Family, Friends, Faith, Field Hockey. She is unconditionally loyal and reliable. Both Sarah and Kasey are excellent role models for the new players. They set the tone for how we behave and what our goals are.
