The fifth-ranked Maryland women’s basketball team (24-2, 15-0 B1G) clinched the Big Ten title outright Saturday night with three games remaining in the regular season.
The Terps clinched at least a share of the Big Ten title with an 81-70 win at Wisconsin Thursday. With Ohio State’s win over No. 13 Iowa Saturday, the Terrapins took sole possession of the conference championship in their first year in the league.
The Terps have won 18 straight games since the beginning of December, including 15 straight in conference play.
The Terrapins are 59-29 (.670) all-time against their 2014-15 Big Ten opponents. Maryland has won 24 straight games against Big Ten teams, dating back to 2007. In the 13 years under Frese, the Terps are 27-4 (.871) against their new conference opponents. Frese is 39-10 (.796) all-time vs. Big Ten opponents, which includes her time at Minnesota (2001-02) and at Ball State (1999-01).
This is the 14th conference title in program history and fourth in head coach Brenda Frese’s 13 years.
