In their last outing on December 20th against James Madison Dukes, the Terrapins cruised to a comfortable 78-55 victory. Their offense was fluid and efficient, converting 41 percent from two-point range and an impressive 79 percent from the free-throw line. They also dominated defensively with five blocks and eight steals, which translated into 22 points off turnovers.


The game prior to that saw an even more explosive performance by Maryland as they decimated Towson Tigers with a staggering score of 99-51 on December 12th. The Terrapins' shooting was exceptional; they hit an astounding 64 percent of their two-point attempts and maintained high accuracy from beyond the arc at nearly 38 percent. Their fast-break points stood out as well, tallying up to a remarkable total of 34.


Against Northwestern Wildcats on December 10th in what was a conference game, Maryland emerged victorious with a scoreline of 71-58. They were relentless in attacking the paint where they scored most of their points (42) and managed to keep turnovers low while forcing Northwestern into mistakes which led to Maryland scoring crucial points off turnovers (23).


The upcoming game presents another opportunity for Maryland's women's basketball team to assert its dominance in both ends of the court. While Penn State will have home-court advantage at Bryce Jordan Center, it is hard not to favor MD based on recent performances.


Penn State Lady Lions will need an extraordinary effort if they hope to contain this high-octane Terrapin squad that seems unstoppable when firing on all cylinders. Fans should expect MD's aggressive defense coupled with sharpshooting abilities could very well dictate this contest's pace early on.


Mark your calendars for January 28th when these two teams face off at Bryce Jordan Center in University Park at precisely six o'clock in the evening local time.
