After the final buzzer sounded, the Maryland women’s basketball team erupted in cheers as they surrounded Mimi Collins and Angel Reese. Upon completing their first season on the floor, Collins and Reese lifted the Big Ten regular-season championship trophy to celebrate the accomplishment as the team jumped around them still throwing around confetti.
The Terps’ second-half performance propelled them to an 88-61 victory over the Lady Lions to become the sole 2021 Big Ten regular-season champions.
This is the sixth time in seven years that Maryland has claimed at least a portion of the Big Ten regular-season title.
