Maryland women’s basketball’s slew of transfers has had an immediate impact

With the departures of guard Taylor Mikesell, forward Shakira Austin and center Olivia Owens over the offseason, Maryland women’s basketball needed to readjust.

While the losses seemed like a blow, head coach Brenda Frese used the transfer portal to add two, soon to be three, key additions to her fiercely competitive roster.

These recently signed Terps include senior forward Chloe Bibby from Mississippi State, senior guard Katie Benzan from Harvard and senior guard Alaysia Styles from Berkeley, who arrived in College Park in December. There’s also redshirt sophomore forward Mimi Collins, who came over from Tennessee last season but didn’t have eligibility until 2020-21.
