BALTIMORE—Five women’s lacrosse players have signed National Letters of Intent to compete for the Retrievers in the 2011 season, head coach Kelly Berger announced today.

“Each player brings a different quality to the field, so I feel like we have the whole package with this class,” Berger said. “I do feel that it’s one of our most athletic classes coming in and that we’ll be able to teach them exactly what we’re striving for at UMBC.”
