MARYLAND TERRAPINS WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

Big Ten ConferenceD1-FBSwinter

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Brenda Frese has guided Maryland women's basketball to a 21-6 record this season while averaging 82.8 points per game against opponents yielding just 62.1, establishing one of the program's most dominant scoring differentials in recent years. The Terrapins have particularly flourished at the XFINITY Center, posting a 14-4 home record that reflects the advantage of playing on campus at the 40,792-student University of Maryland, which was established in 1856. With a 15-player roster competing in the Big Ten Conference's demanding winter schedule, the team has demonstrated competitive balance across both conference and non-conference play.

Maryland's away record of 7-2 underscores the program's ability to win in hostile environments while managing Big Ten Conference play through Frese's coaching framework. The 3-4 conference mark shows room for growth in Big Ten competition, where programs face significantly deeper talent pools and travel demands throughout the winter season. Frese's sustained success—building from Maryland's historical NCAA tournament appearances—continues to position the program as a consistent force in women's college basketball, with scoring efficiency that ranks among the nation's better offensive teams.
