Shyanne Sellers tallied 18 points and a game-high eight assists as the Terrapins (28-6) ran past the Fighting Irish (27-6) in the Greenville Regional 1 semifinal. Maryland advanced to the Elite Eight for the first time since 2015.
The Terps trailed the Irish by eight points in the second quarter but broke off a 13-1 run in the third to take the lead. Maryland went on to lead by as much as 22 points. The Terps also got 18 points from Diamond Miller, 12 from Lavender Briggs and 11 from Abby Meyers.
Maryland forced Notre Dame into a season-high 25 turnovers. Playing without injured starting guards Olivia Miles and Dara Mabrey, Sonia Citron led the Irish with 14 points, four assists and seven rebounds.
"We knew they were a little bit on their heels without a point guard," Sellers said. "So, just trying to make them really uncomfortable. And you saw that; we did that."
