Former Princeton guard Abby Meyers transferring to Maryland

Days after head coach Brenda Frese landed former USF guard Elisa Pinzan, Maryland has landed another big-time piece for the 2022-23 roster.

Former Princeton guard Abby Meyers was officially announced by the program on Friday morning. Meyers, a Walt Whitman graduate, played three seasons at Princeton where she was named Ivy League Player of the Year and selected as an honorable mention on the AP All-America team. Meyers averaged 18.2 points and 5.8 rebounds to help the Tigers to a 25-5 record and the Ivy League title.

The addition of Meyers and Pinzan stabilize the Terps’ backcourt with a pair of veterans next season, giving Maryland the ammo needed to reload. “We’re so happy to provide Abby a homecoming here at Maryland. When we can add a conference player of the year, a winner, a leader, a great teammate, and someone who thrives in the big moments, it’s exciting,” Frese said via release. “Everyone knows Katie Benzan was a spectacular Ivy League to Maryland move and I’m just as excited about what Abby will bring to our team. I watched her at Walt Whitman High School and followed her at Princeton. What she’s accomplished so far is impressive and she’s not done yet. We’re thrilled to have Abby and her family and friends here at Maryland.”

Meyers shot 40.4% from the three last year to fill the perimeter shooting void left by Benzan, but the chance to return home was an added bonus too good to pass up.

“I chose to play my final year of college basketball at Maryland because not only am I from Maryland, but I grew up going to the women’s basketball games at the amazing XFINITY Center! I have tremendous respect for the program and all it has accomplished under Coach Frese’s leadership, and I want to help continue to build the winning legacy for the one and only Terp Nation,” Meyers said via release.

With the four additions this week, Maryland now has four remaining scholarships open for the 2022-23 season.
