COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Riding the nation's longest win streak, the Terrapin women's basketball team remains in the top spot of the Associated Press top 25 for the fourth-consecutive week. Maryland is traveling to Marshall on Wednesday, Nov. 29 to battle the Thundering Herd with tipoff scheduled for a 7 p.m. start.
Maryland (7-0) started the season as the preseason-ranked No. 1 team in the nation and has not wavered in that position to date. The Terps are off to their best start in school history since 1991-92, while extending their win streak to 13 games, dating back to the NCAA Tournament last year.
The Terrapins are coming off a commanding win over the SEC's Mississippi, winning the Junkanoo Jam by scoring a tournament-record 110 points, while the Rebels netted 79. Senior Shay Doron, who scored a season-high 23 points in the game, was named Most Valuable Player of the tournament. Juniors Crystal Langhorne and Laura Harper were also named to the all-tournament team.
Maryland's trip to Huntington, W.Va., comes in the midst of a nine-game stretch in just 12 days. The game will be a rematch of the 2004 Terrapin Classic championship game when the Terps claimed the tournament crown by a score of 83-68.
The Thundering Herd are hosting the No. 1 team in the country in any sport for the first time ever. They come into the contest with a 5-1 record, Drake, 59-58, at the Caribbean Classic in Cancun, Mexico.
WMUC will be broadcasting the game live. An audio link is available through www.umterps.com. The game can also be viewed through Herd Zone All-Access with a paid subscription at www.herdzone.com.
The Terps will then return home to host UC Santa Barbara on Saturday, Dec. 2. Tickets are available for purchase at www.umterps.com or by calling the Comcast Center Ticket Office at 1-800-IM-A-TERP.
