The Maryland Black Ice 18U Gold team hosted a mini clinic featuring Stevenson University Head Coach Julia Culotta and former Unversity of Maryland standout Kathy McLaughlin. They led the 18U Black Ice players, and their guests the 16U LTRC Lazers, through a series of hitting, throwing and fielding drills.

Kathy McLaughlin, a first team All-ACC shortstop at Maryland, went on to spend six years as a member of the Division 1 Providence College coaching staff. Coach McLaughlin ran the throwing and fielding portion of the clinic and focused on proper throwing technique along with drills to speed up transitions as a fielder.

Coach Julia Culotta, entering her second season as the head coach at Stevenson, was an America East All-Conference player at UMBC ranking in the NCAA top 100 with a .384 batting average and top 50 with an on-base percentage of .506. Coach Culotta handled the hitting portion of the clinic and was able to work with the players on tees and in the cage, offering individual tips and corrections for each player.
