Balancing Act – University of Maryland Athletics

Even though the stress of finding a school to continue her career was off her back early, that didn’t mean the job was finished. For Liguori, she was just getting started.

“I think the committing part was actually the easy process. The hard part was continuing to prove myself and make sure that I was ready once I got to college.”

“I worked really hard to get to where I was and nothing was ever really given to me. I wanted to show through high school softball, like ‘hey, I got to where I was for a reason.'”

With the commitment solidified, Liguori could focus on playing softball and attending high school. 

When Liguori eventually arrived in Maryland, she was introduced to the Maryland Made program.

“All the different opportunities they give you, I never really knew about until I got here,” Liguori said, “I definitely think it’s helped me a lot. I was able to get a bunch of different mentors.”

“Getting to know a bunch of different people who are always in your corner was something that I thought I was never really going to be able to get.”
