Before UMBC freshman Zach Linkous arrived on campus last fall, his older sister, Meagan, a senior, prepared a list of suggested courses for her younger brother to take. But Zach was able to benefit from another shared bond with his sister – UMBC lacrosse. Meagan is a co-captain and four-year starter on defense for the Retriever women’s team, while Zach, a midfielder, is in his first year on the men’s squad. Believe it or not, the Linkouses are not the only UMBC lacrosse brother-sister combination, as they are joined in that distinctive group by J.D. and Jessica Harkey.
