No. 14 Maryland Women Rout Purdue 99-66 on Senior Day

At the XFINITY Center in College Park, No. 14 Maryland overwhelmed Purdue 99-66 on Feb. 22, 2026, in a dominant Senior Day performance that celebrated three Terrapin seniors and pushed Maryland to its fifth consecutive victory. The win came in front of the home crowd that had gathered to honor the graduating players in what the program had billed as a senior celebration.

Head coach Brenda Frese pointed to locker-room chemistry as a driving factor after the game. “You see the chemistry in our locker room of just how everyone wanted to play and was intentional playing for our seniors,” Frese said. Her remarks followed a game the program described as “a fitting way to hold its Senior Day,” emphasizing collective effort rather than individual stat lines.

Maryland honored its three seniors on Sunday, and all had days to remember, the team noted in postgame coverage. The school staged pregame and in-game recognition tied to the regular-season home schedule, and the outcome provided a clear on-court send-off as the Terps celebrated those roster veterans at the XFINITY Center.

The 99-66 final underscored Maryland’s recent surge; the victory was the Terps’ fifth straight, extending a run that has reshaped their momentum late in the regular season. Game observers highlighted sustained scoring bursts by Maryland that built and maintained a large margin, producing the decisive cushion reflected in the 33-point difference.

Maryland leaves College Park riding a clear wave of team play and Senior Day emotion as the program moves into the final stretch of the regular season. With a commanding home victory on Feb. 22 and Frese citing intentional effort for the seniors, the Terps head into upcoming games with five consecutive wins behind them and the home crowd’s send-off fresh in mind.
