MM 1.26: Maryland women’s basketball freshman Summer Bostock enrolls for spring semester

Jan 26, 2023 - 11:30 AM

Maryland women’s basketball announced the early arrival of freshman Summer Bostock on Wednesday. She will be taking classes at the university this semester and will participate in team-related activities for the remainder of the season, but is she is not eligible for games this season.

“We are thrilled Summer and her family decided that she is coming to College Park a semester early,” head coach Brenda Frese said in a release. “This will put her ahead of the game with learning our system and adjusting to college life.”

Bostock, a 6-foot-1 guard out of King’s Christian Collegiate in Toronto, Ontario, finished her junior season averaging 27.3 points, 11 rebounds, four steals and three assists per game.

She also has international experience, representing Canada at the 2021 FIBA Under-16 Women’s Americas Championship.

Bostock joined the Terps for practice Wednesday, where Frese applauded the Canadian’s initial showing.

“I watched her today was like man, we could use her right now with the way she can shoot the basketball and light it up but [the extra semester] is gonna give her a huge advantage,” Frese said. “She’s going to be able to hit the ground running and I’m looking for her to be able to have a big impact. We lose Diamond [Miller] and Abby [Meyers next year] so she’s got a tremendous opportunity.”
