For the second time this month, Rutgers women’s basketball will take on Maryland on Wednesday night. After a tough start to the season, Rutgers has played better of late and recorded two conference wins. Against the Terrapins, they will be looking for redemption.
In the first matchup of the season between these two teams, Maryland recorded a 67-59 win. They were led by Shyanne Sellers, who scored a team-high 16 points. She got some help from Allie Kubek, who hauled in six offensive rebounds.
As always, an amazing event for an amazing cause.#LetsBeatCancerTogether#Play4Kay https://t.co/ZUmXuBF9Qo

As Rutgers looks to get back on track, they will need a big game from Destiny Adams. The Lakehurst, New Jersey native has been the team’s most consistent player on offense. Against Wisconsin on February 17, she scored 17 points and added 10 rebounds to her resume.
After a disappointing loss to Wisconsin, Rutgers will need to avoid a slow start to emerge with a win. Against the Badgers, they only scored 18 points in the first half. As a result, they were unable to get back into the game as their offense improved.
Additionally, they will face a Maryland team that has won three straight. The Terrapins looked much better in conference play during that stretch and scored at least 67 games in three straight games. With wins at a premium, this game should be exciting from start to finish.
