No. 4-seed Maryland women’s basketball is rolling ahead of Friday night’s Sweet 16 showdown with No. 1-seed Stanford in Spokane, Washington.
The Terps (23-8) moved past their first two NCAA Tournament opponents – No. 13-seed Delaware and No. 12-seed Florida Gulf Coast – with ease. Having the privilege to host the first two rounds due to being a top-four seed, Maryland used the Xfinity Center atmosphere to its advantage.
Last Friday’s first-round matchup against the Blue Hens was never competitive. The Terps raced out to a 27-17 first-quarter lead and ultimately defeated Delaware, 102-71. Maryland’s 102 points stand as its third-highest scoring output of the season and its most points scored since Jan.
