The Lady Terps have taken a mighty sweet ride on Tobacco Road this weekend and are bringing home an ACC Title. The first in 20 years. And this is after being seriously tested this weekend. First, they shut down the juggernaut North Carolina Tar Heels 95-84 Saturday. Then on Sunday they needed over-time to determine their prowess in the ACC against the Duke Blue Devils. And they prevailed in the 92-89 victory.
“To beat two teams of that caliber in the state of North Carolina is huge for us,” Toliver said. “We’ll take that confidence into the NCAA without a doubt.” Toliver contributed 24 points.
Marissa Coleman helped the Terps claim their title. Coleman had 28 points and 15 rebounds in the Duke game and was awarded the MVP of the tournament.
Coleman looks ahead at the next challenge. “There is one more goal we need to accomplish, get to Final Four and win another National Championship. We are going to enjoy this and focus back on getting to another National Championship.”
The Terps have most likely earned themselves a number one seed in the NCAA tournament. To read more about this victory go here.

Meanwhile, the men’s hoops team ((18-12 overall, 7-9 ACC) lost Saturday to Virginia and will have to catch fire in the ACC tournament (starting Thursday) to earn themselves a spot at the table in the NCAA Tournament.
