A recent tweet by Maryland Volleyball was captioned, “Terps always support Terps.” Team Maryland has always been the center of attraction at the Big Ten Championships this season. Soon after winning the concluding match against Rutgers, Team Maryland headed to Big Ten again.

Notably, Riley Nelson, the five-star freshman, gave fans a buzzer-beater by shooting 9 points in 34 minutes. However, Nelson was not only the key player of Maryland’s basketball team; McDaniel also emerged as an undefeated force. She managed to secure 18 points, giving Terps life when they needed it the most. 

Overall, Maryland’s basketball team’s performance was remarkable throughout the match. But, the team needs to work on their accuracy to improve and uplift their rankings. On the other hand, Maryland’s volleyball team is also required to re-strategize their game and undergo intense training in order to perform well at the upcoming tournaments.
