Maryland women hope to get rid of 'rust' in NCAA tournament vs. No. 7 seed Washington

The last time the Maryland women's basketball team escaped with a win after an uncharacteristically sloppy performance was Feb. 25, against Wisconsin.

Two days later, the Terps rebounded with perhaps their best performance of the season, a 110-77 pummeling of Minnesota and its sensational scorer, Rachel Banham.

Coach Brenda Frese has come to expect such resilience from her team, which she calls the most businesslike of her 14 at Maryland. It's why she sounded undeterred after second-seeded Maryland's 74-58 win over Iona in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
