Maryland women’s basketball continued its slide in the AP Poll into the new year.
After starting the year ranked fourth, the Terps dropped to No. 17 in the latest AP Top 25 rankings released Monday.
This past week, Maryland went on the road against Northwestern and were ultimately outmatched 81-58. This blowout loss prompted a five spot drop from No. 12 to the team’s current ranking.
Northwestern joined No. 4 South Carolina and No. 9 NC State as the three teams to defeat the Terps thus far this season. While Maryland’s losses were to good teams, a loss is a loss and as conference play picks up, the Terps need to rack up some wins to reignite their national championship hopes.
On Monday, the Terps picked up a bounceback victory over Ohio State, and Kalia Charles led the way with 28 points.
Along with Charles, four other players are averaging north of 10 points per game on the season — including freshman standout Ashley Owusu. The Terps will look towards two road matchups against Iowa on Jan. 9 and No. 24 Michigan on Jan. 12 to continue to right the ship.

The Hawks trail by 5 as the fourth quarter begins and Huerter’s sharp shooting is huge reason why they are in this game. pic.twitter.com/wAtwsTeufM
