It’s been an up and down season for Maryland women’s basketball, but the Terps put forth a comprehensively positive performance Sunday at Illinois.
In the first half, Maryland focused its energy on the defensive end, limiting the Fighting Illini to just nine made field goals. When it came time to close out the game in the fourth quarter, the Terps’ offense took over.
Shyanne Sellers had 11 points in the fourth quarter — including some smooth jumpers — to help lead Maryland past Illinois, 69-53, for its second straight road win.
Having struggled against conference opponents throughout the season, head coach Brenda Frese’s squad put together one of its best performances of the season on Sunday.
