Syracuse hosts No. 11 Maryland in women’s college basketball action on Wednesday.
Early into the season Maryland (3-0) has moved up from 18th in the preseason to 11th with three straight wins. The Terrapins are coming off a huge win over then-11th ranked Duke (85-80). They hit the road for another test against a former conference rival in Syracuse (1-1) who is coming off a loss. This season the Terrapins have a veteran group led by transfer Kaylene Smikle. After two seasons with Rutgers, Smikle is picking up right where she left off in her junior season leading the Terrapins. Smikle has found a rhythm with senior Shyanne Sellers, who has taken a step back to help the Terrapins get back to another deep run in the NCAA Tournament this season.
