With 20 seconds, and counting, left in the opening period, the junior guard calmly dribbled the ball up court. Then, in the final seconds of the first quarter, Sellers took over. Spurred by Masonius’ layup, Maryland led a 18-8 run, halting the Dukes’ scoring outburst and taking the lead off an array of layups and jumpers from Sellers, Emily Fisher, and Bri McDaniel. The Terps did exactly that, storming back just minutes later. “I don’t think it was a very good first quarter for us, but just stayed patient, positive, and tried to work through some of that.” “I thought we started super emotional and were getting in our own way,” said head coach Brenda Frese. The rebound and bucket contributed to a controlling 35-19 first-half run for the Terps that would hardly be contested, as Maryland delivered a 78-55 win over James Madison.Ī blistering 9-0 run for JMU opened the game – courtesy of good looks by Kseniia Kozlova, Peyton McDaniel, and Olivia Mullins. After relocating to the left perimeter, Masonius received the ball yet again – this time driving baseline and delivering on a crafty reverse layup. Then, in a flash, the graduate student dribbled coast-to-coast, accelerating past midcourt before firing a pass to Shyanne Sellers. Masonius boxed out her defender, leaping up to secure the defensive rebound. That record-breaking board came with just under five minutes remaining in the first quarter. Entering this Wednesday, Faith Masonius had collected 499 total rebounds across her five seasons at Maryland – just one shy of checking another accomplishment off the bucket list and joining the 500 Rebound Club.
