The fourth-seeded Maryland women’s basketball team advanced to its third straight Sweet Sixteen Tuesday with a 69-64 win over fifth-seeded Texas at Comcast Center.
The Terrapins (26-6) have been to six Sweet Sixteens in head coach Brenda Frese’s 12 years at Maryland and 11 overall. With the win, they advance to play top-seeded Tennessee (29-5) Sunday in Louisville, Ky.
Senior Alyssa Thomas led the Terrapins with her 26thdouble-double of the year with 16 points, all in the second half, and 11 rebounds. Alicia DeVaughn added 12 points, while Laurin Mincy and Lexie Brown each had 10.
“I’m really happy for our seniors to be able to go out with a win on their home court,” Frese said. “But like I told them in the locker room, we’re not finished. I’m excited to be able to go, and we’re going to make a run for the roses.”
