Katie Schwarzmann (born September 15, 1991) is an American women’s lacrosse player. Having played with the Maryland Terrapins at the collegiate level, she was a two-time winner of the Tewaaraton Trophy. She was also a member of the US national team from 2010 to 2013. In 2016, she was selected first overall in the inaugural United Women's Lacrosse League draft, selected by the Baltimore Ride.[1]
As a freshman, Schwarzmann would score three goals in the Terrapins victory over Northwestern in the 2010 NCAA championship game. Her 65 goals would lead the team during her sophomore season. In the aftermath of her junior season, Schwarzmann’s 72 goals ranked second in the NCAA, while leading all competitors in the ACC conference. With the Terrapins going undefeated in her senior season, Schwarzmann would open the campaign with a hat trick against Richmond. On February 17, she would score a career high seven goals in a 19-11 win against Syracuse.[2] Following her senior year, she would capture multiple honors including: ACC Offensive Player of the Year, IWLCA First Team All-American, Synapse Sport Midfielder of the Year and ACC Championship Most Valuable Player. Schwarzmann graduated third all-time in Terrapins history with 228 goals and 304 points (304). As a side note, she became only the third player to have won the Tewaarton Award twice. The others were Kristen Kjellman (2006–07) and Hannah Nielsen (2008–09).
In 2013, she was a member of the United States roster that captured the gold medal at the 2013 FIL World Cup held east of Toronto in Oshawa, Ontario. The youngest member of the team, she would register 10 goals, complemented by four assists in a total of seven tournament games.[3]
The first-ever draft pick of the Baltimore Ride, she was also the first player ever selected in the history of the UWLX Draft.[4]
In July 2014, Schwarzmann was hired in a coaching position with Mount St. Mary's. Her younger sister, Katie, also joined her on the coaching staff.[5]
