COLLEGE PARK — Maryland women’s basketball coach Brenda Frese is one win from making history thanks to a team that continues to demonstrate to the Big Ten Conference there is almost no one who can bring them down.
The No. 10 Terps smoked Wisconsin for the second time this season, 84-48, on Thursday, giving Frese something only one other coach in Maryland history has accomplished: 499 wins, tying 27-year coach Chris Weller.
Frese, in her 19th season at Maryland, has the opportunity to capture her program-record 500th win at Nebraska on Feb. 14.
Thursday’s victory ensures the Terps keep their grip on the top of the Big Ten standings, improving to 9-1 (13-2 overall) with less than half of the conference regular-season slate to go.
