After becoming one of the most decorated college lacrosse players in history at Loyola, Pat Spencer is returning to Maryland — but as a guard for the Northwestern men’s basketball team.
Spencer, a graduate student, is one of the top performers for the Wildcats, who are 6-18 overall and 1-13 in the Big Ten. Spencer averages 10.7 points, 3.8 assists and 3.8 rebounds for the Wildcats and will return home with family and friends in attendance when Northwestern faces No. 7 Maryland Feb. 18.
“It should be a good crowd. … Should have the whole family there,” Spencer said on Glenn Clark Radio Feb. 17. “I’m fortunate that my four years at Loyola, my whole family is in Maryland. They would have an unbelievable support system there for every game. You get, I think, three games on the East Coast here for the Big Ten [basketball season], so this is definitely one that that we’ve all had marked on the calendar.”
