Maryland Guard Bri McDaniel Out for Season with Torn ACL

McDaniel, the Terrapins' third-leading scorer, suffered the injury during a game against Minnesota, leaving the team without a key contributor for the remainder of the season.

Junior guard Bri McDaniel sustained a torn ACL in her right knee during Maryland's January 16 game against Minnesota and will miss the rest of the season.
McDaniel, a key reserve, was averaging 10.6 points, 2.4 assists, and 2.1 rebounds per game, playing a critical role on both ends of the court.
The injury occurred on a layup attempt at the end of the first quarter, where McDaniel landed awkwardly and had to be carried off the court.
Head coach Brenda Frese praised McDaniel’s competitive spirit and expressed confidence in her recovery, while acknowledging the challenge of replacing her contributions.
Maryland, ranked No. 8 and holding a 16-1 record, faces a tough schedule ahead, including games against top-ranked UCLA and No. 12 Ohio State, without one of its standout players.
