Box Score
COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Though a disappointing loss for the Terps on Sunday against Wake Forest
..... there were a few notes that came out of the game, reflecting the
Terps' turnaround season -----
** Marche Strickland was 4 of 8 from 3-point range to raise her
ACC-leading 3-point percentage to 43.1 percent and continue her bid to
become the first Maryland player ever to lead the conference in 3-point
accuracy.
** Strickland's four treys gave her 50 for the season and established
the Tiffany Brown-Marche Strickland duo as only the fourth 3-point 50-50
tandem in ACC history. Brown leads the ACC with 66, Strickland is fourth
with 50. Should Strickland finish with as many as 60 (two regular season
games to go, and at least one ACC Tournament game), the Brown-Strickland
duo would become only the second ever to reach 60-60. Both have exceeded
Maryland's previous school record of 48, by Brown in 1998.
** Strickland's 23 points moved her past Virginia's Svetlana Volnaya on Sunday as the ACC scoring leader through 14
conference games, apiece. Strickland averages 15.9 ppg while Volnaya, with just six on Sunday vs. NC State, drops to 15.4. Strickland
and Volnaya will play head-to-head in Thursday's home finale from Cole Field House.
** Brown, though 0 for 8 overall and 0 for 7 from 3-point range against
Wake Forest, continues to lead the ACC in 3-point shooting. She would be
the first Maryland player ever to lead the ACC in that category.
** Freshman guard Vicki Brick posted seven steals for the fourth time
this season and match her season-high --- which is two shy of the Terps'
single-game record of nine. Brick has 81 steals on the season which is
7th in Maryland history, and her 3.24 steals leads the ACC. Brick is
bidding to become the first freshman to lead the ACC in steals in 20
seasons, dating to a 2.9 per game by Maryland's Debbie Lytle in 1980.
The ACC class record for steals by a freshman is 3.4.
** Maryland is still vying for a winning record following its disastrous
6-21 campaign in 1999. The Terps are 13-12 overall and 4-10 in the ACC.
Last season, the Terps were 3-13 in the ACC. Maryland hosts Virginia at
Cole Field House on Thursday before traveling to Georgia Tech to end the
regular season on Feb. 27.
