The No. 9 Maryland Terrapins are in Lincoln, Neb. playing against the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Sunday at 5 p.m. ET (FS1). A win today would give Maryland head coach Brenda Frese her 500th win with the Maryland program and her 548th career win. The Terrapins are 12-0 in program history against the Cornhuskers and won last year’s matchup in convincing fashion, 87-69.
