For Terps, NCAA path goes through Vandy again.

After breezing through the NCAA tournament’s first weekend, Maryland (30-4) is sure to face a tougher test in the third round. The Commodores (26-8), the last remaining team from the Southeastern Conference, once again stand between the Terps and a spot in the regional finals. Not that there’s much of value that either team can [...]

Toliver still hungering for one more accolade.

“I’m proud of the product that I’ve been able to give to the university,” Toliver said. “But there’s still unfinished business. We still have potentially six more games left. I’m happy with the things that have happened so far, with having a national championship, with having an ACC championship, but I’m not satisfied in the [...]

Poker-Faced Rodgers Coming Up Aces for Terps.

Rodgers played a total of 60 minutes and scored 43 points in 10 appearances during the regular season as she worked her way back from knee surgery and a preseason illness. She nearly equaled those totals in the ACC tournament, playing 52 minutes and scoring 30 points. “I personally had a lot of doubt, of [...]

Frese, Terrapins weary of waiting.

After winning the ACC tournament March 8, the Maryland women’s basketball team relished the opportunity to rest the various aches that accompany a 32-game season. But two weeks is a long time between games, especially for a team used to playing two or three times a week. “It feels like it’s been such a [...]

Terrapins rising.

“This team is extremely confident right now,” Coleman said. “Duke came in on a hot streak and was playing really well in the ACC tournament. For us to be able to beat them in the fashion we did, having a lot of young players step up big for us, that alone has given [our underclassmen] [...]

Liles And Kizer Placing Own Stamp On Terps.

The first thing you need to know about Demauria Liles and Lynetta Kizer is to know who they aren’t. Specifically, they aren’t Crystal Langhorne and Laura Harper. Oh, it may look like Kizer and Liles are filling the frontcourt positions that Harper and Langhorne manned for four years for the Maryland women’s basketball team, and [...]

Maryland’s Coleman, Toliver seek to go out on top.

Maryland seniors Marissa Coleman and Kristi Toliver aren’t ready for their college careers to end—not just yet anyway. They’ve already led Maryland to its first national championship and etched their names prominently in the school record book. But there is more to be accomplished. The ninth-ranked Terrapins, who face Georgia Tech on the road Thursday, [...]

Toliver Hits ‘Em With Her Best Shot.

No current women’s player has made more three-pointers in her career than Toliver, who is at 270 (out of 650 attempts) and counting. She is Maryland’s career leader — and has nearly 100 more than any other Terrapin — and is third in ACC history. She has made four or more three-pointers in 20 games [...]

Growing Pains: Maturity Curve Hasn’t Always Been Easy For Terrapins Stars Toliver And Coleman.

Previously, Toliver struggled most with the cloak of leadership. Two years ago, heading into the tournament where they would attempt to defend their title, Frese benched Toliver for her unwillingness to be more vocal on the court. Both the team and Toliver were thrown by the benching, and Maryland was unceremoniously bounced in the second [...]

To the point: Terrapins go as far as Toliver carries them.

Now, Frese expects the Terrapins to lean on Toliver, who was awarded the Nancy Lieberman Award, given annually to the nation’s top point guard last season, even more this winter. Maryland has six new players after several key contributors, including WNBA first-round picks Crystal Langhorne and Laura Harper, graduated or transferred. “Coach [Frese] is a [...]
