The University of Maryland Eastern Shore women’s basketball team made program history Tuesday night, securing their inaugural postseason victory with a triumph over Wake Forest in the Women’s National Invitation Tournament.
The Hawks’ victory represents a double milestone for the program, as it also marks their first win against a power conference opponent. The team advanced to the WNIT’s second round with the breakthrough performance against the Atlantic Coast Conference school.
This historic achievement caps off a remarkable season for UMES, as the Hawks earned their first-ever invitation to postseason play. The team’s success against Wake Forest demonstrates the program’s growth and competitiveness on a national stage.
