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, 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. I’m 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 Maryland’s recruiting philosophy - and gives the Terps two long, skilled international forwards ready to make their mark in College Park.
