Maryland Terrapins women's basketball run ended by Stanford
2008-04-02 04:04:00 The Maryland Terrapins' #1 seed offered no protection in the NCAA women's basketball tournament Monday night as they were eliminated by #2 seed Stanford. Candice Wiggins scored 41 points in leading the Cardinal to the high-scoring upset of Maryland, 98-97.

Sadly though, it also ended without the return Final Four bid that had once seeemd this team's birthright.----Relevant links: AP via Yahoo, Baltimore Sun...
