Maryland Terps Prepare for Season Opener in Paris

The Maryland women’s basketball team is ready to start their season on Monday with a game against the top-ranked South Carolina team. This exciting match will take place in Paris, bringing an international flavor to college basketball.

One of the significant returns for the Terps is guard Bri McDaniel. After being sidelined for the entire 2025-26 season due to a torn ACL, her return adds a boost to the team. McDaniel’s recovery marks a notable comeback as she contributes with her skills on the court.

During the offseason, Maryland successfully recruited a top-10 freshman class, demonstrating their commitment to strengthening the team. Additionally, they welcomed experienced players through the transfer portal. Despite these new players, some of the most impactful members could already be those who were part of the team. Returning players, with their familiarity and experience, are expected to play a critical role in the season ahead.
