Seeing the adulation in the eyes of Langhorne as they held the trophy saying We Did It" gives so much to your team Brenda and to all of you take a bow but more importantly Cindy being a great player entails yielding to the team concept and incorporate your game through the team and you understand that. Latta said about you "She's only a freshman" but Latta is saying that on the couch with ice and a towel in her face as well as my UCONN HUSKIES but I respect that team thing and being Corrections Officer in DCs now defunct Lorton's Central Facility I understand what Maryland or Murland basketball and a bushel of crabs means to the Beltway and ladies you did it in fashion and being a father of 3 sons wishing for a daughter although my son is a wideout at Connecticut's SCSU any parent would want fiesty young ladies like yourselves and a well dressed well composed Coach like Brenda. Cindy they say you idolize Mike but little sis you play like AI and that is real keep working over the summer and your team brought new fans to the Women's game. Take a Bow ladies you did and Duron way to hang in their and in the heat of the moment you ladies put the fire out. YOU GOT YA NATTY!!!! PEACE AND CAN'T WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR JUAN AND STEVIE AND THE MEMORY OF BIAS SHOULD BE PROUD YAW PUT IT ON YA BACK AND TOOOOOOOOK IIIITT!!!" |

Always like to see the big name schools get beat. I am a Scarlet Knight and was hoping they would be in the mix, but still glad to see someone new as king of the mountain.

| 4/5/2006 0:08 | Luke Goolsby, College Park MD | Dear Coach Frese, Congradulations on an awesome season and a great run to the championship! I have performed as the Mascot, Testudo the last few years up until December of 2005 when I just graduated from the University. I have had a blast being at your home games and taking a few trips with your team to the LSU campus for the NCAA tournament and to Greensboro for the ACC tournament both 2 years ago. You are a fantastic coach and I can assure I will do my part to try and get tons of fans out to the Comcast Center next season to support our National Champion Terps. I will definetly be ordering some season tickets for next season as I am no longer a student. Good luck this offseason and I will be there to support you and your team next season to defend the title. Congrats again and take care! Much respect, Luke Goolsby |
| 4/5/2006 0:08 | Andrea | Congratulations Ladies you did it! We love you! |
| 4/5/2006 0:09 | Carrie Brody | Coach, I'm an Arizona Alum. Way to represent!! Go Terps and Go Wildcats!! |
| 4/5/2006 0:10 | Fred Yontz, Reston, VA | Dear Coach Frese Congratulations to the team and you for pulling off the impossible! There's no way you should have won that game ù Duke just owned you in that first half... like Florida owned George Mason and UCLA. So thanks be for second halves. And that kill shot by Kristi Toliver over Bales to send the game into Terp Time turned out to be the knockout blow. Add in the icewater-in-the-veins 6 for 6 free throw shooting to seal the victory, and these young (very young) women really earned it! I had written you off after that first half and then the thirteen point deficit, and any number of times toward the end of the second half when Duke was up by two or four and had the ball. You were right in your after-game remarks: It's a shame either team had to lose. This was a much better final than the men's tournament, a Gators run-away, and I'm sure all over the east coast there were hearts in the mouths of both Duke and Maryland fans as the tension of the game soared. It was a great game, and being in the region (though I'm first off a GW fan), I was surprised and delighted with the outcome. Once again, to all the players and you, congratulations for climbing Everest! And don't let Toliver find out she's only a freshman. (By the way, I see you were an assistant coach at Kent State, right next to my old home town of Ravenna.) |
| 4/5/2006 0:11 | Melissa Carr '02 Alum (Ellicott City, MD) | CONGRATS on the '06 CHAMPS TITLE!! VERY EXCITING TEAM TO WATCH, enjoy the celebration and for Next season - keep up the enthusiasm - we're all lookin' fwd to watching a terrific group lead by an inspirational coach!! :) |

Great Jobs girls. You are an inspiration to all the young ladies learning how to play this game the right way. |

| 4/5/2006 0:21 | Karen, Silver Spring, MD | SHAY BABY! YOU ROCK! I spent this whole game in a hotel bar in Fort Lauderdale, after holding the championship tickets in my hand (I told Marissa about it after the game on Sunday) because I had to go on a do-or-die business trip. Everyone in the bar thought I was insane as I monopolized the TV and jumped and shouted and kept having faith in this team and then, by the end of the game, they were almost as excited as I was when you won! Congratulations on an INCREDIBLE season, every single one of you. |

| 4/5/2006 0:29 | College Park | Congrats!!!Great Game |
| 4/5/2006 0:29 | Kevin Waring, Rocky Mount, NC | I was born in Washington, D.C. and was raised in Maryland, I may no longer be there, but my heart still bleeds the crimson red which was ubiquitous throughout the Hynes Convention Center in Boston during Maryland's storied run at their first national title. You guys were down at one point, but you didn't let it discourage you, you went down swinging and came back hitting hard in the second half. I remember in the waning seconds of regulation Kristie Toliver hitting an inconceivable three-pointer to send the game into overtime. For a freshman, she exudes this maturity that some seniors can only admire and wish they had. Indeed, overtime was your time," and everybody played an instrumental role in what you've all accomplished, and I know that College Park is rocking to the tune of a well-deserved national title. Congratulations! " |
| 4/5/2006 0:30 | Russell Wood (Knoxville, TN) | CONGRATULATIONS LADIES! I'm so proud of you. You truly played with the heart of a Lion.

Kristi Toliver was outstanding, and so are the other players. Keep up the good work. Oh, a message to Toliver: that move u did on Latta in the North Carolina game....that's was some Allen Iverson technique right there. I've never, honestly, NEVER seen a woman do a move like that on the b-ball court. Best Wishes to you ALL!! |
| 4/5/2006 0:32 | Erin (Damascus, MD) | Probably one of the best basketball games I've ever seen...certainly the best comeback I've ever seen. You should be proud you didn't give up. Congrats, National Champs! |

| 4/5/2006 4:07 | Michael Baker | I told you, didn't I? You make Maryland the university and Maryland the state very proud. I just knew when every one of those prognosticating wazirs went for duke that would be the ingredient in the mix you needed to win. What a great team and what a great foundation for the forseeable future. Thank you, Shay, for getting the recruiting ball rolling and being the emotional leader of the team. I knew that shooting slump wouldn't follow you into the championship game. Kristi, what great court leadership. I've been reading what some weasels have written about you on ESPN message boards. You probably have, too, but just like you brush off mistakes like a crumb on your napkin I expect that's how you'd deal with those bozos. Tonight's game was superior and I salute you and congratulate you. In thinking about the two Final Four games and those comments on the message board I'm reminded of a quarterback for the Oakland Raiders a number of years ago Jim Plunkett didn't always -- usually is probably more like it -- have pretty games, but he won a lot and has a Super Bowl ring to prove it. So you had some turnovers against unc, but you didn't let them get you down. That's the trick! Eyes on the Prize. And whaddys know, right next to this message box is a photo of you holding that prize. Things have looked good for the Terps for a while now, this season you ladies and Coach Frese just boggled our minds with that team turnaround and getting to the National Championship so fast. Coach has already demonstrated superhuman recruiting skills and now she gets to add, Do you want to play for a National Champion"? To paraphrase a song from several years back, Your future's so bright you gotts wear shades! Fantastic. Great. and the rest of the theosarus. Again, congratulations on the best season in Maryland women's basketball and for that mighty sweet trophy to cap the year." |
| 4/5/2006 4:11 | Debbie, Freehold, NJ | AWESOME!! What a great final game, you all showed such grace under pressure!! CONGRATULATIONS!! |

| 4/5/2006 6:01 | Kevin Brown (College Park, MD) | When I first decided to come here to the University of MD, a major part of that decision was D-I sports teams like football n men's basketball. I honestly didn't pay attention to or give you ladies any credit. I wasn't expecting much as far as ya'll were concerned. I knew ya'll were starting to become fixtures in the tourney, but that was about it. I never would have imagined this. I'm behind you all now tho. You proved myself and many others wrong and accomplished something great that won't be forgotten here for a long time. You instilled pride to a school that most of the other major nationally televised sports were choking for. I regret not jumping on the bandwagon sooner and going to some of your home games and will now be an avid fan of you all just like I am with some of the other teams here. I will be at as many of your home games as possible next year and for the rest of my college career and I will follow this program, even after I graduate. You all have established something and I can't wait to see what you all are capable of doing in years to come. Could accomplish dynastic status like the 2000-2004 UConn women's team or even the Houston Comets of the WNBA. The grit and effort you all played with last night was inspiring and even in the North Carolina game, the same could be said. You never game up and kept on fighting even after most thought you were out of it. You all have done something extraordinary for this school and the women's game as a whole and I could not be any prouder to be a Maryland Terrapin than I am now. Couldn't be a better time to be a terp. God bless you all and thank you so much for providing everyone hope. |
| 4/5/2006 6:03 | Beverly(Ocean Township, New Jersey) | I am wearing Maryland colors today to celebrate your victory. WAY TO GO! Doesn't the title National Champions sound great? You were amazing this season. Congratulations to all of you!" |

| 4/5/2006 8:52 | Gene Sides: Ft. Lauderdale, Florida | Congratulations to Brenda, the Lady Terps, and Maryland Terrapin fans everywhere! What a class act the team proved to be in winning the NCAA women's basketball championship last night--defeating two #1 seeds in the Final Four! The 2005-2006 season and NCAA tournament efforts against Utah, North Carolina and Duke demonstrated what great coaching, terrific students of the game, teamwork, good adjustments, guts and heart can produce. I want to thank the team for a terrific ride this season. Watching last night's game on TV here in Ft. Lauderdale was more enjoyable (and nerve-racking) than my trips to the 1982 Final Four in Norfolk and the 1989 Regionals in Austin. It has been great to already hear from friends in California, Colorado, DC, Florida, Maryland, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia who watched the game last night and became avid TERPS fans! Thanks to the University of Maryland administrators, athletic department, coaching staff and players for making this a season to remember. Last night ranks up there with being in Atlanta to see the men's team win it all in 2002! GO TERPS! Gene Sides Class of 1977 |
| 4/5/2006 8:52 | Kathy, Rantoul, Illinois | Way to go! Once the Big Ten teams were out of the tournament, my pick was Duke. However, after seeing your games and how strong your team played--never giving up, I became a Turtle believer. I must say you made watching the NCAA Women's Championship game much more exciting that the men's Championship game! I am a University of Illinois fan. When the local sports aired on the CBS affiliate, I was glad to hear Sports Director Jason Elliot announce proudly that Brenda Frese is his sister-in-law (Illinois Associate Head Coach Marsha Frese is his wife)! Congrats on a great season and I know with such a young team you will be in the tournament for a long time to come! Way to go! |
| 4/5/2006 8:52 | Meghan, White Hall MD | Congrats goes to the terrapins for showing that Maryland is no team to look down at. You ladies really played hard when everyone just wrote you off. I was at the Sacred Heart game and I loved every second of it. It was the first Maryland game I've ever been to and you all played so well throughout the tournament. I've been a Maryland fan my entire life and have always loved women's basketball. You all are so young and to beat Duke for a national title made it just that much sweeter for the fans! Brenda, I'm so impressed with how you turned this program around. I was so glad when they first hired you, and look what you've accomplished. Congrats agagin and let's do it next year! |

Actually, all of us Terps here at ESPN are very proud. Both games were incredible. I was there on Sunday for your victory over the Tarheels so I did a lap around the ESPN VIP Hospitality Suite. It was truly an emotional ride watching the team come back from being down by over 10 in the first half to a battle to overtime to take it in a close game with Duke. However, from what I witnessed first-hand on Sunday, I had no doubt you would clinch it in the end. You have proven that age and size doesnt mean a thing - its all about heart and determination. Go Lady Terps the well deserved 2006 NCAA National Champs - Great Coach, Great Team, Great Win!!!!!! Its a wrap! - Timi |

That game last night provided so much excitement (I was on the edge of my seat and cheering by myself - ha - my UMD son had to work refereeing at a club volleyball game and he told me to keep texting him the score) and you all never game up. It was SOOOOOOOOO exciting. My maiden name was Bales (ha) but no relation to Alison but oh was she tall. Congrats on a fantastic victory, a fantastic season, and for UMD to join the 3 other colleges as being the only four to have men's and women's national championships. You have alot to be proud of as I'm sure you are and I'm looking forward to attending some UMD women's basketball games in the future. I'm still excited!

Great things will continue to happen for you.Keep recruiting talented, hard working, motivated, disipline players. Coach Frese, I know that this is a very special moment for you. No one reaches heights like this for nothing. You are truely heaven sent. You are like a shinning star waiting for a kid to wish so you can help make there dream come true.

| 4/5/2006 11:13 | Bethany Martens, Severna Park, Maryland | Words cannot express how proud I am of this young group of outstanding women who make up this Maryland team, including Coach Frese! When I was in college several decades ago womens' basketball took a far back bleacher to mens' b-ball. It's taken too long but it's incredible to see womens' ball finally getting the R-E-S-P-E-C-T it's long deserved, and what better way to celebrate that than by the Lady Terrapins bringing home a national championship to Maryland! From all the on court play,interviews, and news articles I've read, I can't think of a nicer, more unselfish, deserving group of women to win it! Go Terps! You do us proud, ladies!!!!! |

| 4/5/2006 11:19 | Mark Westray (Cary, NC) | I'm a huge Carolina fan, but I must say the Women's NCAA championship game was one of the best b'ball games I've ever seen, men's or women's! You showed incredible guts in the 2nd half & OT. And Shay Doron is tough as nails! There will be some great battles between the Terps and the Heels next year. Congrats on the championship; you deserve it! |

| 4/5/2006 11:31 | James Coleman ( Boiling Springs,South Carolina) | Wasn't much of a ladies basketball fan until I watched the Utah game and saw the heart and passion the lady Terps play with. It's one thing to have talent but it's another thing to play unselfish team basketball like your life depended on it. That's what I saw from you ladies. Congrats on the big win and I am now a bonafide Lady Terps fan! |
| 4/5/2006 11:31 | Katie Cunningham | Congratulations girls! I can't think of a team that deserves it more than you all. It's so exciting to see a women's team completely break down the stereotype that women's basketball is not exciting or worthwhile to watch. I would watch your games before any men's team! It's doubly awesome because not only were you all vastly more talented than Duke's girls, but drastically more attractive as well! I can't even think of words for some of those girls...Go Lady Terps!!! |

| 4/5/2006 12:20 | Jackie (Baltimore Maryland) | Congratulations, my daughter started playing basketball in School (she's 13). She learns better by watching, so I decided to bring her to a game so that she can get an understanding for the game and see it played at a much higher level. We came to see MD play, we were on the court. It was the Northern Colorado game, it was great! We have been following you ever since. Thank you! Your team has taught her so much. How to fight for what you want, how to play hard and be determined, but still be humane. The unity, the sportsmanship, and the honor in which you play is awesome to watch game after game. Prior to the Duke game when they showed Currie she was saying we deserve this victory and a few clips later the camera was on Doron and she was saying we worked hard to be here. That moment confirmed what I had been witnessing game after game. Very special team of lady athletes. Kudos to you all. |

Although it was a loss, I saw the potential and told my friends at the game that this team will put it together by the end of the season. Sure enough, after beating UNC in Chapel Hill and Duke in the ACC tourney, I was convinced that the Terps had arrived. Thanks for capping off the season with a National Title!! And, beating Duke in the process - even sweeter. Can you say repeat, 3-peat, maybe even 4-peat! I can and look forward to the next few years. Special note to Coleman.

I started out watching the game like I would any women's basketball game, with less than great expectations. Shame on me because by the 10-minute mark in the 2nd half I was screaming at the TV -- by the end of the night I was in tears of joy. This is truly a great moment in Terps history! Thank you girls! PS: Did you hear Chairman Boehlert mention the National Champions in his opening remarks during the US House of Representatives Science Committee mark-up broadcast on C-Span this morning? He's a class act! " |

I knew she would do big things in college when I read about her last year while she played her senior year in high school. VA produces some great athletes. Shay Doron, what a player. I admire you for coming to the US to pursue your dream to be in the WNBA. Believe me. I can't wait to see you there. To the rest of the Lady Terps, I congratulate you on a great season.

He certainly won't make that same mistake next year. Best wishes. |
| 4/5/2006 15:37 | Kayla Goldman from Cape Coral, FL | Hey guys! Wow. Wow. Wow. Pretty insane, don't you think? I just thought I should join in with the tons of fans (even internationally) to say you really stunned everyone; you all did great (understatement). I saw it coming of course, having been a Terp fan since Shay Doron first signed with MD. And quite frankly, I am still her biggest fan. And I'll probably break some of her records at Maryland in three years. -Kayla |
| 4/5/2006 15:37 | June Moord; Fort Wayne, IN | CONGRATULATIONS! I am Kristi's grandmother. It's been such an exciting year. Coach Frese, we are a large family who mainly live in southern Michigan and northern Indiana. Maryland has developed a giant follow-ing here. My 70 and 80 year old friends who never watched basketball before have been so excited to have witnessed your great success. God Bless you all. |
| 4/5/2006 15:39 | Brett Trotta (Baltimore, MD) | I never thought I would follow Women's B-Ball, not even at UMD, but you all have made a believer out of me. And to beat UNC in the semis, and Duke in the National Championship, if the guys did that, my head would explode. But you doing it is just as sweet.

You have done great things to Maryland basketball, and I am excited to watch next year! I have been a women's fan since I was at UMD in 99-03, and it is great to see the success of the program in such a short time. I originally come from CT, so the one thing I always hoped for while at UMD was that one day the women's tix would sell out faster than the men's, which has happened at Uconn more than once! |
| 4/5/2006 16:39 | Peggy Vogel, Huntingtown, MD | WELL DONE LADIES!! I've watched you grow this season and am PROUD of you all.

You guys were awsome when down 13 you never ever gave up and won as a team. Also your bond will be even stronger since everybody stays on the team.

| 4/5/2006 16:58 | Jenny deLozier, Chevy Chase, MD | From Tuesdays Washington Post: Thought this was GREAT, especially the last line ...this is their time..." Why the Lady Terps Will Beat Duke Tonight ------------------------------ According to Marguerite Whilden, founder and co-director of the Terrapin Institute, a Shady Side, Md.-based nonprofit dedicated to protecting the region's population of diamondback terrapins : The females of the species "are very determined. They just keep coming back year after year [to lay eggs]. They are doggedly determined and focused on the mission. We just released a bunch that we had recovered -- they were raring to go. The bigger they get, the heartier and more productive they get. . . Based on the tolerance and persistence of this animal, I think the women have been persistent and this is their time." CONGRATULATIONS ON A STELLAR SEASON! Jenny deLozier " |
| 4/5/2006 16:58 | Rosemary Arms - Forest Hill, MD | Way to go girls! Our Terrapin family is so proud of you. |

| 4/5/2006 17:02 | Ashley Plaugher (Winchester, Va) | Congrats on your outstanding victory and National Championship! I got my whole family and some of my friends that don't even play basketball to watch the game. As soon as it went to overtime, I turned to them and said, it's over!" They all just looked at me like I was crazy. Then I shouted,"overtime is our time!" They found out why pretty quickly. My mom, sister, and I were all hugging and teary eyed. We have watched you all grow into a national championship caliber team, and we couldn't be more proud. All the people that said you couldn't do it avoided me today for some reason :) Way to prove all those people wrong! Let's do it again next year. GO LADY TERPS!" |

| 4/5/2006 17:10 | Paula Gills Northfield, Vermont | I went to Michigan State and was rooting for them till they bowed out. I teach at a small college here, Norwich University, and I sing the anthem for all home basketball games. One of our women's players and I were talking about your team last week, and she was convinced that you were going to make it all the way. I was not particularly partial to any of the other teams, although I liked Ivory Latta, but I decided to go along with our player and root for you all. Congratulations on a spectacular showing, for your poise under pressure, for your courage, for your refusal to quit, for your athletic ability, and for the thrill of seeing the best comeback in the history of women's basketball that I have seen. I hope that it can be you and Michigan State in the finals next year, and let the best team win!! By the way--nice clutch three pointer--amazing! Those final free throws were not bad, either! Paula Gills |
| 4/5/2006 17:15 | William (Severna Park, MD) | Great season, memorable wins, fantastic finish! You never looked worried and played (Brenda Frese) Maryland basketball, Congratulations!

You all did great through out the tournament, even thought you got me a little worried in the first half of the national championship game. Can't wait to go see some of your games next year. I've been to a few. I remember one time I went to get autographs, and when I got to Perry she was really excited (I guess) so she gave me likee 10 high fives. You guys are great! |

You made a lot of Maryland die-hards (like myself) extremely proud of our school and the program. What an unbelievable run! Beating Duke (of all teams!) in dramatic fashion was probably the most satisfying wins I've witnessed in a long time. Here's to starting something special and another spectacular run next year. |

Your championship meant even more to me than the men's team winning in 2002 because you guys did it against our rivals UNC and Duke, because no one gave you a chance, and because you showed so much spirit in never giving up! |
| 4/5/2006 17:38 | Columbia, MD | I think you girls are awesome! You all are the epitome of a real team and deserve an award just for that--on top of that beautiful championship title! To Shay, Marissa, Crystal, Kristi, Laura, Jade, Coach B and the entire team and staff...you truly all are champs of the nation and have risen to a level unprecidented in order to accomplish this difficult task as an underdog to the media. The ACC and the rest of the NCAA...(((FEAR THE TURTLE!!!))) and respect this great team! More titles are on the way as long as you girls stay focused! Thank you, ladies! (((WOO-HOO!!!))) |

Crystal was great throughout the year and Laura (Harper) came back strong in the second half of the year. It has been a pleasure watching all the games from my front-row seat. The six wins, and no losses, in overtime was spectacular. From the Virgin Islands to the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP has been a FANTASTIC Year!!! Bring that championship banner to Comcast Center, along with the trophy and I hope they will be displayed as prominently as the 2002 Men's Championship. |

I have followed you since the beginning of the year with that close loss to Tennessee and knew it was going to be a special season. When you weren't on tv I followed the games through the live stats on this website link. I was most upset when the Number 3 team in the country was given a 2 seed. You proved them all wrong and now you are number 1 over everyone without a doubt. I can't wait until next year. Fear the Turtle"" |

We will never repeat that mistake. You make us all so proud of you. There was so much to be proud about - a young team going all the way, a young coach leading you there, and winning so decisively. But beating our rival school for the title just made it all that much sweeter! May you replay every second in your dreams each night and wake up every morning knowing it wasn't a dream!

| 4/5/2006 18:16 | Tim O'Hara, Silver Spring, Maryland | Ladies: I only saw 2 of your games this year. Clearly it was my mistake. I don't make the same mistake twice. I may not be able to afford season tickets, but if you're playing home on a weekend or holiday, I'll be there |

| 4/5/2006 18:38 | Jane Feldman. Melbourne FL. U of M '67 | Terps bball has been our favorite spectator sport for 40 years.

Enjoy the feeling and remember it always. Awesome display!!!! |
| 4/5/2006 18:40 | Eileen Deutsch, Berlin, MD | You girls are the best - congratulations 1,000 times over. I am not a basketball fan, but I can tell you that you have changed my mind. You made this NCAA season very exciting. I never lost faith in you last night, even when you were down 13 points. I was there cheering you on until the very end. You women are the best and should be very proud of your accompishment. I know your coach is quite proud, and I can see the respect that all of you have for her. I played lacrosse in school and really looked up to my coach and can see that you do the same with her. You are all very fortunate to have her as your coach and it shows in the way you pour out your hearts in the game. Thank you for making this quite an exciting season. I will be there cheering you on next year when you win once again. By the way your games were much more exciting then the men. That final game with Florida and UCLA was rather boring. Keep up the good work. I know the turtle is quite proud. My daughter is applying to University of Maryland for the fall and if she gets in, I will be there watching your games in person. GO TERPS! |

You go girls!! Enjoy your moment. You deserve it. |

I knew we would win and I knew Toliver would hit the shot! It is just the same confidence I had in our 2002 men's team! What a victory. I was just so nervous the night before the came and kept thinking about the game in my dream and kept waking up. I didn't think we could win a title this year before the season, my biggest hope was to beat Duke this year. Yeah, we did it twice and we did it in the Championship game!!! How sweet it is! |

As a UMCP graduate, Super Terrapin Donor, and season ticket holder for MenÆs Football and Basketball, I must say that was one of the most special moments I have experienced as a MD fan. It was a pleasure to hear you tell the fans that hard work, sacrifice, and putting team first, along with your natural talents wins the day. The menÆs programs at MD have a lot to learn from you. I enjoyed watching all your televised games during the tournament, and only wish that I would have been able to attend the finals in person. Congratulations on your well earned win. I donÆt know if I could have scripted it any better; MD beats North Carolina and Duke, ranked 1 and 2 to win its first National Championship in WomenÆs Basketball. It is a wonderful time to be a Terps fans thanks in no small part to the Ladies Terps!! Best of luck next year. |

YOU EARNED IT!!" |
| 4/5/2006 21:01 | Mary Whitney - Annapolis, MD | Hey, that was a great run! Followed you all the way. Used to play (a million years ago). Once dreamed of being a Lady Terp back in '79, but was ousted by the likes of Tara Heiss...etc. Got to practice with them nonetheless. The program has come so far & keep up the excitement! Hey, some of my collegues agreed, (if this has not been done) to have a shirt printed up w/ the words: Overtime is our TIME!" How appropriate! Ride the Wave. You all have earned it!" |
| 4/5/2006 21:03 | Mark (Annandale, VA) | I grew up a Terps fan and remember watching Chris Weller's teams at Cole Field House. I took my daughters to the first Duke game this year--and it's thrilling to see the improvement over the course of the year. Not to mention beating Carolina AND Duke in the Final Four. That's the best part. In additional to having game, each player I saw represented themselves, their teammates and the university well. It's great to see good people rewarded with good things. Congratulations |
| 4/5/2006 21:06 | Ed (College Park) | I'm a senior, and this is my first year as a member of the pep band. I'll admit that I didn't pay much attention to women's basketball until this year, and it took coming to the games this year with the band to realize what a mistake that was. I have never had so much fun rooting for a team as I have had rooting for you. I've never seen a team play with more heart, have more fun, and stay so humble during a championship run. I hope you become the next great dynasty in sports, and if Im still in the area next year, I'll be coming to as many games as possible with as many people as possible. Congratulations on a fantastic run, and thanks for some great memories." |

Congrats again, enjoy it and go UMD in 2007! |
| 4/5/2006 21:16 | Maria Jackson, Pasadena, MD | Thank you for a wonderful year! It was truly a pleasure watching you play. You are an inspiration - you all played hard, played together as a team and it all worked out! When Kristi dropped that 3 to send it into overtime, I knew the title was ours. Overtime is Terrapin Time! The Women's Final Four was the best basketball in the past week -far superior to the mens' games! Congratulations and Good Luck next year! |
| 4/5/2006 21:17 | Beatrice (Chesapeake Beach, MD) | Congratulations Ladies! I must admit I've been a fan of men's hoops for quite some time, but you have inspired me to follow women's hoops much more closely in the future. Hopefully you will be on TV more next year!

Secondly, I just want to say thank you for the awesome job you have done to promote woman's basketball. I coach the middle school team where I teach and I had the opportunity to see your first game this season against Duke with my local high school team . Although, you did not win that game it was so much fun to see those girls enjoying the game. The stories that have been told about you as a team and as individuals are just so heartwarming. You are all such role models for the younger girls that will someday be where you are now. Again, congratulations on the Championship and thank you for your hardwork and dedication to the sport. You are an inspiration to many players and coaches throughout the nation. Sincerely, Rebecca Richey |

Basketball has been my favorite sport for as long as i can remember, i play field hockey and softball for my high school also. i was a 91% free throw shooter this season and i had the most consistent shot on my team. If i could figure out a way to improve my footspeed on defense maybe i could finally get some recognition, but until then i'll continue being your #1 fan(not just someone who only watched you guys in the national championship, but someone who has actually been to a few of your games this season!). Thank you for being my heroes. -Caitlyn Potts Poolesville HS C/O '08 |

I can't imagine what you must be feeling because it's gotta be 100 times what I'm feeling and that's a lot of emotion. Basketball is my first love, I played it for nine years, and I couldn't be prouder to go to a school where the women are reppin' the #1 spot! Congrats, congrats, congrats!!! |

This game was awesome and it has taken womenÆs basketball to another level. It took such poise and great coaching for you to come back from a deficit of 13 points. You all never gave up. Never once did I see defeat in your faces. The University of Maryland, the great university that it is, I know is very proud of you and your accomplishments. I couldnÆt get enough of watching the ESPN highlights over and over again!!!!!! ôFear the Turtle.ö I am currently living in GA and have been a big fan of the Lady Tar Heels and Lady Vols. Since my daughter Angela is a graduate of Maryland and is currently one of the assistant competition cheerleading coaches there, I said I would have to abandon NC and TN and cheer for MD through the tournament. And I did just that. Just watching you play the last couple of games I feel that I know you all personally and you now have a new fan and I look forward to following your games next year. If my son heard me say this he would call me a ôfrontrunner.ö But believe me, I will be cheering for you through the good and bad and hopefully there will be more good times than bad. Again, congratulations and I am sure Gary Williams is excited to have help in bringing championships home to the University of Maryland. |

| 4/6/2006 0:23 | Maury (Ellicott City, MD) | To the players: I wish I could better articulate what I'm really feeling. I'm so proud of you guys, and glad you represent my alma mater. You're all first rate. I brought my 79 year old dad to a game this year (UVA) and we have had something special to share between from that point on. I loved your attitude this season, and especially throughout the tourney. I had some friends from around the country call me to wish us luck - we always keep in touch before important Terps events - and I am glad to say that this easily feels just like the 2002 Men's title. We're so pumped - and you represent us so well on and off the court! I can't wait to see the trophy in Comcast. To coach Frese and the staff: Thanks for your dedication and hard work. This was more than hard work, though. This is a talented organization from top to bottom. You gave MD athletics a shot in the arm when we needed it most. For those of us who followed the Terps this season, we had a lot of reasons to be optimistic about the tourney. It was a lot of fun watching perplexed media catch on throughout the run. It's like watching a 2 year old discover candy. Congratulations. I can't wait to bring my dad to another game at CC! |
| 4/6/2006 0:26 | Jeff Gregory Troutman, NC | What a wonderful accomplishment! I have been a Terp fan for 30 years and enjoyed this run as much as anything the Terps teams have ever done. Being from North Carolina, seeing you beat UNC and Duke to win it was even sweeter. Congratulations!! |
| 4/6/2006 0:40 | Johnny Smith Cary, NC | Coach Brenda, staff and the Lady Terps, I am so proud to be a Terp fan. I'm down here in the heart of ACC country surrounded by Duke, UNC and NC State. It's tough but I always make sure everyone respects my Terps! Just like in 2002, I'll be celebrating this for a long time. This championship gives you all the respect you and wanted and deserve. It also makes you accountable and responsible to be outstanding students and citizens. Be safe and enjoy the ride. I was born in DC and grew up in Landover until age 15. I wish I could be there with you celebrating but just to let you know, ACC Country" respects you!" |

Watching those games was the best experience of my life and I want to thank you for that. Every single one of you is an incredible player and so exciting to watch. You freshmen, wow. There are no words. Marissa, it was so cool meeting you in Downtown Crossing, remember I was the one with the American Eagle bag :) you've really become one of the players I look up to the most.

Thanks for the great ride and hopefully I might be able to meet some of you in person one day at a game so I can thank you personally and tell you how much I loved watching you all play. I knew women's sports was no different from the men because it is about competition, not who's competing. This championship and the men's from 2002 are my favorite spots memories. Now if only some of you could win a world series for the Orioles and I'd be set! Thanks again and lots of love! Chris |

| 4/6/2006 7:32 | joe ende pa. | congrats on a great season. enjoyed |
| 4/6/2006 7:53 | Kevin Waring, Rocky Mount, NC | I was born in Washington, D.C. and raised in District Heights, Maryland, and even though I'm no longer there, my heart still bleeds the crimson red which was omnipresent at the TD Banknorth Garden in Boston that fateful evening. I held my breath with every point you were down and I exhaled during the times which you were ahead. They say that life isn't measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of moments that take your breath away. Kristi Toliver's 3-pointer was one of those moments, and even to this day I'm still amazed by her late-game heroics, she transcended her own God-given potential on that night, as did every other Maryland Terrapin on your roster. You went down early swinging, and later came back hitting, sending the game into overtime, proving that it's not how you start, but how you finish, by redeeming yourself from past mistakes, and that in overtime, all things past are irrelevant to what is unscripted, to what is unwritten, because it is your time." Everyone can take pride in your championship, because everyone played an instrumental part, no matter how small nor how large. I know that College Park is rocking to the tune of a well-deserved national title, and I'm singing along right with them. Congratulations! " |

I am old enough to remember (65) when our only opportunities were City Softball leagues in the summer and pick-em-up b.b. games with the boys in the 'hood'. If we were good we didn't get the chance to use it or show it except the guys allowed us to play. Congratulations to all of you and your coaches. And learning to work hard and discipline yourselves will make you all successes for the rest of your lives. As I tell my nieces and granddaughters.....we can do and be whatever we want to, it's up to us. Mary Farrar |

| 4/6/2006 11:02 | Art Kramer (Silver Spring, MD) | You guys were champions in our hearts long before this season started. The Natty just shows the world why. My wife and I have been season ticket holders for years. We come to every home game, watch every road game that's televised, follow your stats, read your press, root for you when you're having an off night, yell our heads off when you're on. For you, we're just a part of the mosaic of your fans.... But for us, you are like family. We've seen the hard work, first hand, for years. So, though we are but strangers to you, in a way, we've come to know you. Perhaps it's corny to say, but we couldn't be more happy for you if you were our own daughters. Congratulations on a great season! But, more than anything, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! for all the sportsmanship, for the wonderful team work, for the selflessness and passion with which you play, for showing the world what giving your all for each other can achieve. THANK YOU! for all the joy you've brought to so many thousands of folks, just like us, each just a piece of the mosiac, each a witness to just how wonderful you are. THANK YOU! You make the world a much, much better place. Art Kramer UC '93 Alum |
| 4/6/2006 11:05 | Marj Boynton Beach, Fl. | You all were FABULOUS!!! I am a true-blue Terps fan. With little to enjoy this year from the men's basketball team, I began following you ladies. I enjoyed your games every bit as much as the men's games. You play as hard, as fast, and obviously, this year, better than the men. I shall remain an NCAAW fan because of you. I already can't wait till next year when you all return! Thanks for the fun Go Terps |
| 4/6/2006 11:06 | Crofton Maryland | Great game - my middle schooler had to go to bed in the first half when the ladies were down. He decided wearing his TERPS skunk hat would change things, so he went to bed wearing it. We woke him up at 11:30 to tell him that the TERPS had won - he still had it on. Excellent season, enjoy the moment. We look forward to next season's ride! |
