No. 2 seed Maryland women’s basketball has had a dominant opening run in the 2021 NCAA Tournament.
After defeating No. 15 seed Mount St. Mary’s in the first round, 98-45, the Terps went on to win against No. 7 seed Alabama, 100-64, in the Round of the 32. Maryland will look to build on its momentum as it faces No. 6 seed Texas in the Sweet 16.
The 53-point victory margin of victory Maryland had over the Mount is the largest by any team in program history, men’s and women’s, in an NCAA Tournament matchup. Against Alabama, Maryland hit the century mark for the seventh time this season which is tied for the third-most in a season by a men’s or women’s team in program history.
