Crystal Langhorne (born October 27, 1986) is an American basketball player. She played for the University of Maryland Terrapins. In 2008 she was drafted by the Washington Mystics of the WNBA.

High school

Langhorne is a graduate of Willingboro High School in Willingboro, New Jersey.[1] Langhorne was named a WBCA All-American.[2] She participated in the 2004 WBCA High School All-America Game, where she scored five points, and earned MVP honors.[3]

College

In 2006 she helped the Terrapins win the NCAA Championship, and in 2007 she starred in helping the USA win the FIBA World Championship under 21 for women. She is the first player in the University of Maryland's history to score 2,000 points and grab 1,000 rebounds for either the men's or women's teams, and only the 106th women's college basketball player to do so.[4]
