Following a surprise victory over then-No. 11 Duke on Sunday, the No. 11-ranked Maryland women's basketball team (3-0, 0-0 Big Ten) is set to face another ACC rival on Wednesday, taking on Syracuse (1-1, 0-0 Atlantic Coast Conference).
In their last outing, Syracuse fell to Saint Joseph’s with a score of 84-70, marking their first home nonconference loss since November 2019, when they were defeated by then-No. 1 Oregon. The Orange led 22-14 after the first quarter, but Saint Joseph's found their rhythm from beyond the arc, shooting 14-of-26 (53.8%) from three-point range—the most three-pointers Syracuse has allowed since 2022.
There's little time for Syracuse to regroup, as they prepare to host a strong Maryland team at the JMA Wireless Dome. The Terrapins head into this matchup with momentum, coming off their 85-80 victory over Duke and holding an unbeaten record. While last season's clash between these teams was a tight contest, both have since undergone significant roster changes.

Maryland Terrapins team news & key performers
After ending last season as the 10th seed and facing a first-round NCAA Tournament exit—their earliest since 2010, when they missed the tournament entirely—the Terrapins strengthened their lineup through the transfer portal. Kaylene Smikle, a transfer from Rutgers, shone in Maryland's recent victory over Duke, leading the team with 23 points. Another key addition, Christina Dalce from Villanova, posted a double-double against the Blue Devils, contributing 14 rebounds along with 12 points.
Maryland also retained its top scorer from last season, Shyanne Sellers, who averaged 15.6 points, 5.5 assists, and 5.8 rebounds.
