Versatile Gophers senior bringing contact, defense, and late-career production
In the 2026 season, Minnesota senior Maggie Werner emerged as a reliable all-around piece for the Gophers, finishing with 42 hits, 26 runs scored, and five double plays turned while earning Big Ten Sportsmanship Award honors. After limited action early in her career, she broke through as a steady contributor in 2025 with 38 appearances and multi-hit games against Louisville and Michigan, showing she can help in the lineup and in the field. Her value is versatility, composure, and team-first consistency rather than flashy power—an appealing fit if you want a gritty, dependable UTL who raises the floor.
