Head coach Brenda Frese of the Maryland women’s basketball staff welcomed former Terrapin student-athlete Sarah Myers to her staff as the Director of Recruiting Operations Wednesday.
Myers played for the Terrapins from 2016 through the 2018-19 season, helping Maryland to two Big Ten regular season championships and a Big Ten Tournament title, as well as the 2017 Sweet Sixteen.
Myers saw action in 82 games for Maryland. She earned Academic All-Big Ten honors, was named a Big Ten Distinguished Scholar and earned both the Big Ten Sportsmanship and Outstanding Sportsmanship Awards. Myers won the 2019 James F. Kehoe Award for outstanding sportsmanship among Maryland female student-athletes.
“We are thrilled to bring Sarah back home,” Frese said. “As a former alum of our program Sarah has always had dreams of coaching that she shared with me as a student-athlete. It’s awesome to turn that dream into a reality. She will be a tremendous addition to our players and staff. She will be very hands-on in her new role as the Director of Recruiting Operations. Sarah is someone who has always bled Maryland and I am so happy we have been able to bring her back to be a part of our program. It’s a great day to be a Terp!”
“I am delighted to return to my alma mater and reunite with my Maryland Terrapin family,” Myers said. “Coach Frese has continued to lead this women’s basketball program to unprecedented success and I am humbled at the opportunity to work with such an elite organization. The University of Maryland gave me an incredible college experience with excellent academics and dominant athletics, and I am blessed Coach Frese has offered me the opportunity to now work alongside her and her talented staff.”
Myers, a native of Cumming, Ga., earned her bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from Maryland in the spring of 2019. While in College Park, Myers was the Terrapins’ representative to the Student Athlete Advisory Committee and was active in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
She used her final season of eligibility to play at Samford, while she worked on her Master’s in Higher Education Law and Compliance.
In her season as a Bulldog, Myers helped Samford to both the Southern Conference regular season and tournament titles. She was named First Team All-Southern Conference and Southern Conference Player of the Week. Myers averaged 13.6 points and 6.7 rebounds per game.
Myers joined the Samford women’s basketball staff as a graduate student assistant for the 2020-21 season. The Bulldogs won the Southern Conference once again.
Myers was named to the WBCA’s “So You Want To Be a Coach” program for aspiring women’s basketball coaches and was named to TopConnect’s Graduate Assistant Leadership Academy.
