No. 8 Maryland women’s basketball guard Bri McDaniel out for season with torn ACL
McDaniel suffered a season-ending injury last Tuesday.
No. 8 Maryland women’s basketball junior guard Bri McDaniel is out for the remainder of the season with a torn ACL, the team announced Monday.
McDaniel suffered the injury last Tuesday against Minnesota at the end of the first quarter when she went for a layup but fell awkwardly and had to be carried off the court.
“We are so sad for Bri. She brings a competitive fire and passion every time she steps on the court and I know she will continue to pour that into her teammates,” head coach Brenda Frese said on the team’s social media. “She will have incredible support from our Maryland family and her amazing family back home. We will be with her every step of the way and I know she will attack her recovery and rehab to come back stronger than ever.”
McDaniel has been a key piece in Maryland’s success this season off the bench, averaging 10.6 points, 2.4 assists and 2.1 rebounds per game.
“To all my fans and friends, I just want to say thank you for all your support, love and prayers,” McDaniel said in an X post. “Due to an ACL tear in my right knee, I won’t be able to play for the rest of the season, but don’t worry y’all, the comeback is coming soon!”
Her absence comes at an inopportune time for the Terps. They start a high-powered three-game stretch Monday against No. 7 Texas, followed by No. 12 Ohio State Thursday and No. 1 UCLA Sunday.
