For Maryland women’s basketball’s Lavender Briggs, the best is yet to come

Maryland women’s basketball lost to Nebraska on Dec. 4 to begin conference play. It was its third loss and the Terps were trying to find some cohesion within the program.

A dejected head coach Brenda Frese and graduate transfer guard Brinae Alexander addressed reporters who watched Huskers guard Jaz Shelley nail six 3-pointers at XFINITY Center.

Frese said in part, “We need Lavender to do more,” referring to senior guard Lavender Briggs, who came to College Park from the University of Florida in the middle of last season.

It has been an up-and-down year for Briggs, and she will be the first to admit it.
