The Maryland/Virginia Series
The Terrapins trail 21-37 in the overall series with Virginia, with Maryland's last win coming on Feb. 24, 2000, in Cole Field House, 76-71. The Terps have lost 22 of the past 23 games they have played against the Cavaliers.
The Drive for Five
Maryland's Brenda Frese has already given fans a number of positive signs towards a bright future of this rebuilding program and is on her way to another. Despite being 4-9 in the conference right now, Frese needs to lead Maryland to only one more conference win this season to surpass last year's ACC win total and one more to finish either tied with or better than the squad's record three out of the past four years. And that's with three ACC games remaining.
ACC Co-Player of the Week
Maryland's Renneika Razor (New York, N.Y.) split ACC Player of the Week honors this past week after leading the Terps with two 20-plus efforts in a close loss to Wake Forest and a crucial road win against third-place Florida State. She shared conference player of the week accolades with North Carolina's Coretta Brown.
Razor posted efforts of 20 and 24 this week to led the Terps to a 1-1 record, including the Terrapins' first win in Tallahassee since 1996. Razor shot a combined .571 from the field over two games, and grabbed eight rebounds. The conference win, over the third-place Seminoles, marked UM's fourth ACC win of the season and second on the road, a feat Maryland has not accomplished since the 2000-01 season. For Razor, her 20-plus scoring efforts this week marked her seventh and eighth of the year and moved her into the No. 18 spot all-time on the Maryland scoring charts with 1,115 points.
Stolen!
Maryland's Renneika Razor leads the league in steals this season, averaging 3.38 per game, and edging Duke's Alana Beard by 0.30 steals a game. Beard, the 2002 ACC Player of the Year, is averaging 3.08 steals per game.
Razor is leading the competition in ACC games as well, averaging a 3.23 steals per game in conference games, 0.4 steals more than any other player in the conference.
Razor was 19th nationally in steals per game heading into this week.
Razor Climbs All-Time Lists
Senior Renneika Razor continues to climb the UM career charts for steals, averaging 3.38 per game this season. Her 3.23 steals per game in ACC contests leads the conference. Razor set her new career high for steals in the Florida State (1/16) loss with eight and is currently fourth on Maryland's all-time list in that category with 260. Razor's total is also good enough for No. 22 all-time in ACC history. She is two steals away from moving into 21st on the all-time conference list.
Razor 18th All-Time Scorer in School History
In Maryland's 69-58 loss at Virginia, Renneika Razor became the 20th player in Maryland history to break the 1,000 point plateau. She scored 16 points and ended the afternoon with 1,001 career points. The senior guard currently has 1,115 career points, including 387 this season. Razor is 74 points away from the No. 17 spot all-time on UM's scoring chart where All-American Debbie Lytle (1980-83) now sits with 1,189. Razor also has over 500 career rebounds, grabbing 562 to date, and needs 19 more to crack the Top 15 all-time for that Maryland list.
