The Maryland women's basketball team made an even bigger name for itself during March Madness this season. Not only did it take down No. 5 seed Alabama in the most exciting game of the Tournament, but the Terrapins battled Dawn Staley and the South Carolina Gamecocks down the wire in the Sweet 16.
Although they fell short of the Elite 8, this postseason was far better than last year, when the Terrapins dropped their first-round matchup against Iowa State. This resurgence was due in large part to the elite play of the senior class, who, unfortunately, is out of eligibility and will not be suiting up for Maryland next season.
Maryland losing 3 key seniors after Sweet 16 loss
1. Allie Kubek
Kubek spent the last three years with the Terrapins after beginning her career with the Towson Tigers. After tearing her ACL before her first season at Maryland, she became a part-time starter over the last two seasons and contributed 9.1 points per game in her career.
Her numbers improved across the board in her second season in College Park, and she led the Big Ten Conference in two-point shooting percentage during her final campaign. She had a monstrous 19-point, 12-rebound double-double against Alabama in the Round of 32 this season and will leave a giant hole in the middle of the floor when she graduates.
2. Sarah Te-Biasu
Te-Biasu spent her fifth season at Maryland after an impressive four-year stint with the VCU Rams. She leveraged three All-Atlantic 10 honors into a large role with the Terrapins, starting 30 out of 32 games in 2024 and leading the team in minutes with 32.5 per game.
She averaged 10.6 points per game this season and led the Big Ten in three-point shooting percentage with a whopping 45.0% from beyond the arc. The team will have a hard time replacing an all-around player who can stretch the floor like Te-Biasu could.
3. Shyanne Sellers
Sellers' legendary career with the Terrapins came to an end on Friday night. Her name is littered all over the record book, and she finished with the second-most assists in program history. She went from being a Sixth Player of the Year to a three-time All-Big Ten honoree and member of the conference's All-Defense Team.
Her senior year was nothing short of spectacular, and she had one of her biggest games in the NCAA Tournament this season against Alabama. While her final game with the Terrapins was not one of her best, the legacy that she left will outlast the bad taste from the South Carolina loss.
