Four Maryland players teamed up to take the silver medal in the Red Bull USA Basketball 3X Nationals on Sunday at the Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Katie Benzan, Mimi Collins, Faith Masonius and Angel Reese (St. Frances) made up Maryland’s squad. The Terps lose three games by a total of five points in Saturday’s preliminary rounds, then beat Legacy, 10-9, in the quarterfinals Sunday morning and two-time defending champion Oregon, 19-14 in the semifinals.
“Maryland played really tough, and they’re a physical team,” said Force 10 forward Cierra Burdick, a WNBA player with the Phoenix Mercury who scored seven points in the title game and was named Most Valuable Player of the tournament.
