The Maryland Women’s Basketball team used a dominant second and third quarter to steadily guide them to a 78-60 victory over Nebraska at Xfinity Center on Saturday afternoon. The No. 22 Terps (19-6, 7-6 Big Ten) donned their all-pink uniforms in commemoration of “Breast Cancer Awareness” in front of the Maryland faithful. <\/p>\n
Four Terrapin players: Isimenme Ozzy-Momdu (16 points), Oluchi Okananwa (14 points), Rainey Welson (13 points), and Yarden Garzon (11 points) finished in double figures on the day. <\/p>\n Isi spinning for 2\ufe0f\u20e3 \ud83c\udf00#faMily<\/a> \ud83d\udc22 pic.twitter.com\/pu6zHz84Zg<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Maryland Women\u2019s Basketball (@TerpsWBB) February 7, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n Okananwa started the game hot, scoring 9 of the first 11 Terp points in the first quarter alone. <\/p>\n However, the Cornhuskers (16-8, 5-8 Big Ten) stayed within reach, only trailing 15-11 after the first. <\/p>\n In the second quarter, the Terps created separation with a 19-6 run from the 5:51 mark until the end of the quarter, leading 45-28 at halftime. The defensive effort from Maryland kept Nebraska’s offense at bay, holding them to only two made field goals and four turnovers in that span. <\/p>\n Nebraska fared no better in the third quarter despite better offensive production. Maryland had a response for every basket that Nebraska scored, highlighted by Wilson, Garzon, and Addi Mack pushing back quickly with buckets of their own. <\/p>\n Welson provided a spark of energy off the bench for the Terps, setting a career high in points in her second game back from a concussion that had kept her out since Jan. 15th. Terps head coach Brenda Frese had a simple statement about Welson’s impact returning from injury after the game, stating:<\/a><\/p>\n New career-high 1\ufe0f\u20e3 3\ufe0f\u20e3 points for Rainey! \ud83d\udd25#faMily<\/a> \ud83d\udc22 pic.twitter.com\/MVTiTiTrgH<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Maryland Women\u2019s Basketball (@TerpsWBB) February 7, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n “It’s awesome having Rainey back,” Frese said. “She brings such an important presence.”<\/p>\n Okananwa also grabbed four rebounds, dished out three assists, and had four steals.<\/p>\n Garzon grabbed six rebounds and had two steals.<\/p>\n Maryland’s players contributed to the stat sheets beyond scoring, and there was a lot of production from freshman players.<\/p>\n Logan Nissley led Nebraska with 22 points on 8-of-16 shooting from the field and 6-of-12 from the 3pt line.<\/p>\n\n
