COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Buoyed by the enormous popularity of the NCAA national champion women's basketball team, the University of Maryland's official web site, UMTerps.com, ranked third in page impressions and first in revenue from the online store in the month of April.
Among those schools that are part of the CSTV online network, Maryland continued to rank high in terms of the number of pages viewed online. Maryland was edged by only North Carolina and Notre Dame in that category.
In tracking by CSTV among its network partners, the Maryland online store topped the nation for the month, beating Notre Dame, Georgia, Gonzaga and George Mason.
The Terps' online store was flooded with requests for merchandise from the women's basketball national championship, as all of the top-10 items on the list for the Maryland store were women's basketball items.
That list was headed by the two-sided T-shirt that celebrated the Maryland women's national title.
