Maryland women’s basketball vs. Illinois preview

After fighting through Big Ten play early on, Maryland women’s basketball is rolling. The No. 11 Terrapins have won four games in a row, and the last two against Indiana and Wisconsin have been decided by 20 and 18 points, respectively.

The reason for the team’s success? Leading scorer Kaila Charles. She’s led the Terrapins in scoring this season with 16.3 points per game, but before last Sunday’s bout against Indiana, she had outings of three and eight points in the few games before. Charles scored 25 in the blowout win against the Hoosiers, going 12-of-19 from the floor while adding 11 rebounds.
