A Season of Note, in More Than One Way
The 2002-03 season has been earmarked one to start a new era at Maryland and has yielded more than one memorable moment, bringing several new records, milestones, or career-high for the Terrapin team and its players. A few of note:
Maryland won the first-ever game, men's or women's, in the Terps' new home, the Comcast Center. Senior Renneika Razor (New York, N.Y.) scored the first basket in the Comcast Center, en route to the Terps' 80-72 win over the Loyola Greyhounds.
The Terps broke 100 points in a game for the first time since Dec. 28, 1993, when it downed UMES 102-31. Maryland's 104-point output was the highest since Dec. 1, 1992 vs. Drexel. That game was a 121-52 win for the Terps, and still stands as the school record for points in a game.
Maryland's Renneika Razor posted the 31st 30-point game ever in Terrapin history when she posted 32 in the Terps' game at Penn State. Razor went 6-for-9 from the field and 12-of-14 from the free throw line. The point total was also a new career-high for the senior.
Two Terrapin upperclassmen have also set new career highs. Senior Terri Daniels (Ellicott City, Md.) and redshirt-junior Vicki Brick (Timonium, Md.) both posted new career highs this year. Brick netted 20 points against Rider on Nov. 29, breaking her previous high of 19. Daniels tallied her new career high, 18 points, on the road vs. Niagara on Nov. 24. Her previous career high was 17 points.
