Maryland Adds Another International Forward to Bolster Frontcourt Depth

Brenda Frese and the Maryland Terrapins are doubling down on international talent.

Just one day after signing Romanian forward Nicole Fritea , the Terps added another key piece Friday with the announcement of Marya Boiko , a 6-foot-4 forward from Belarus, officially rounding out a global one-two punch in the frontcourt.

Boiko brings a proven track record from her time with MBA Moscow, logging over 900 points and nearly 700 rebounds in 100-plus games while collecting MVP honors and helping lead her team to back-to-back DYUBL league titles.

Her versatility and athleticism make her a seamless fit for Marylands fast-paced style of play.

Marya is 6-4 and a smart and mobile basketball player, Frese said in Fridays announcement .

She wants to play up-tempo, which is music to my ears.

Shes won multiple MVP awards in the leagues shes played in.

She can do some of everything.

Boiko, who cited the Terps environment as a major draw, added, I chose Maryland because of the amazing coaching staff, the strong team culture, and the opportunity to grow both as a player and a person.

Im excited to join the Terp family and compete at the highest level.

While both Boiko and Fritea will need time to adjust, their arrival marks a clear shift in Marylands recruiting philosophy - and gives the Terps two long, skilled international forwards ready to make their mark in College Park.
