Gianna Monaco, a 2025 IWLCA All-American attacker, has signed with Maryland women's lacrosse. The move comes as head coach Cathy Reese looks to fill significant scoring gaps following the departure of nearly 58% of the team's scoring production. Monaco, who previously played for Florida, brings a strong scoring history with 73 goals and 22 assists in the 2025 season.
