Matti Benson is Maryland’s clutch middle-infield spark plug
In the 2026 season, Matti Benson hit .333 with 37 hits, 10 doubles, five home runs and 28 RBI in 44 games, ranking third on Maryland in batting average while posting a team-best .559 slugging percentage. She also flashed big-moment pop with a walk-off grand slam against George Washington and a four-hit, seven-RBI night in that same stretch, which says a lot about her competitiveness and late-game edge. Benson looks like a tough, productive fit for a team needing an infielder who brings both steadiness and burst.
