Late in the third quarter, Stanford led by over 20 as the Cardinal looked to coast to victory. Lexie Hull easily stole the ball away from Diamond Miller, and passed the rock to Haley Jones. Jones easily coasted for the layup — dodging putrid attempts from multiple Terps to stop her on her way to the hoop.  Jones’ layup symbolized the mentality from both sides — Stanford was the more…

Xfinity Center has rarely been loud this season, with both Maryland basketball programs not pulling the rowdiest crowds during their regular seasons.  But on Sunday afternoon, Maryland women’s basketball rocked its home stadium with a dominant performance in the second round of the NCAA tournament. The hustle and toughness from the team fueled the palpable energy in College Park. Three players put up 20 or more points for the Terps,…

Maryland looked to extend its lead with possession of the ball midway through the third quarter. Angel Reese caught the ball at the top of the arc with no Blue Hens defenders near her. After missing from deep in a similar situation in the first half, Reese drove to the hoop and passed the rock. The ball found the hands of Diamond Miller, who converted on the easy layup as…

Late in the third quarter, Maryland held possession of the ball looking to extend its lead. Off of a Northwestern turnover, the Terps pushed the pace before the Wildcats defense could get set.  Great ball movement kept Northwestern on their toes and the ball eventually found Katie Benzan behind the arc. Benzan set her feet, fired, and connected on Maryland’s 12th 3-pointer of the game, a season high. No. 12…

Jacy Sheldon didn’t just play well against Maryland, she got under the Terps’ skin.  First, she tripped Ashley Owusu on the floor in the first half, getting the foul called on Owusu. Then, in the second half Mimi Collins started a shoving match with Sheldon, leading to a foul being called on the forward.  No. 12 Maryland women’s basketball was down from the beginning, and could never seem to break…

No. 12 Maryland women’s basketball looks to rebound following a brutal 20-point loss at home against then-No. 11 Michigan as the Terps take on Ohio State Thursday evening on the road in Columbus. In the latest Associated Press Top 25 poll, Maryland dropped four spots, from No. 8 to No. 12. The Terps’ lone game this past week was against the Wolverines, who dominated in all aspects of the game…

Midway through the fourth quarter Michigan held possession of the ball up by 21. The Wolverines passed the ball around the perimeter, eventually finding the hands of Maddie Nolan. Nolan fired from beyond the arc and her shot found the bottom of the basket, her seventh three pointer of the contest. No. 11 Michigan got out to an early lead in the first quarter and never looked back, as the…

On Sunday night,  No. 8 Maryland women’s basketball will look to add another conference win to its record as the Terps prepare to face off against the dangerous No. 11 Michigan Wolverines. The Terps are coming off of an impressive 87-73 win away from home against Minnesota which was highlighted by all five of their starters scoring in double digits.  The most impressive performance came from Chloe Bibby, who had…

Katie Benzan drove and hit the teardrop layup to the chagrin of the team in white. Benzan was one of five Maryland players in double figures for the game, a representation of the offensive clinic that the Terps put on in the contest. Even though the Golden Gophers put up a fight throughout the first three quarters, Minnesota never once held a lead in the ball game. Fueled by a…
