Life in the Big Ten looks a lot different than it did last year. But No. 16 Maryland women’s basketball is making the most of it, sweeping its two-game West Coast road trip.
After taking down Oregon Thursday afternoon, the Terps beat Washington, 81-73, in Seattle Sunday afternoon.
The Terps were carried by Kaylene Smikle, as she set a career-high with 36 points and put on a masterful scoring performance, all while battling an illness. Elle Ladine led the Huskies with 23.
“When she’s sick, it’s amazing that [she] can put up 36 points,” Maryland head coach Brenda Frese said.
