It’s been a rugged ride thus far in 2010 for the young Maryland lady Terps. With only one upperclassman on the team (senior Lori Bork), plain old inconsistency is at the heart of the Terps’ lackluster play, which now has them at 16-8 overall and 3-6 in the ACC.

According to The Diamondback, the Lady Terps face a must-win game tonight at Wake Forest. If they can’t get the job done in Winston-Salem, where the Deacs are 4-0 in ACC play, it would be their third consecutive loss, and would mean the team would need to win out in the regular season to get to 20 wins and .500 in the conference (and, by extension, stand a decent chance to make the tourney).

Good luck to Lynetta Kizer, Tianna Hawkins, and the rest of the ladies tonight. Go Terps.
