We’re thrilled to welcome her back to Maryland.”
“Returning to WLL for another season is an honor, and I’m thrilled to rejoin the Maryland Charm at such a key moment for the team and the league,” said Emily Parros, Head Coach and General Manager of the Maryland Charm. “As the WLL continues to advance our sport, the opportunity to establish a team and culture from the outset is incredibly special. I can’t wait to get back to work with our athletes and give Maryland fans a brand of lacrosse they can be proud of.”
