After joining Maryland women’s golf late, Carolina Perez-Tasso has become a key player

Barcelona native Carolina Perez-Tasso did not need much time to adjust to college golf. Maryland women’s golf’s freshman was named Big Ten Golfer of the Week and Freshman of the Week last week after placing first in the French Broad Collegiate Invitational, which featured 11 teams. “Before playing the tournament, we obviously have a practice round, and I remember saying like, ‘Wow this course is really tough.’” Perez-Tasso said. She quickly adjusted to the U.S. after crossing the Atlantic, and since then, has been a breakout star for the Terps. Perez-Tasso has never been shy of competition. In early September, she represented Europe in the PING Junior Solheim Cup, which features some of the best amateur golfers aged 18 years and under worldwide. That tournament delayed Perez-Tasso’s arrival to College Park. She missed the first three weeks of the Terps’ season and did not participate in the team’s first tournament this year.
