The 11th-ranked Maryland women’s basketball team will be without starting guard Laurin Mincy for the rest of the season after the junior tore the ACL in her right knee during Wednesday night’s 90-71 victory over No. 21 Nebraska in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge in Lincoln, Neb.
After scoring a season-high 16 points and going 4 for 4 from three-point range, Mincy landed awkwardly and left with roughly 15 minutes to play in regulation. She did not re-enter, although she was able to walk as well as pedal on an exercise bike during the game.
An MRI exam on Thursday revealed the tear, which is the second of her career and the third to befall a member of the women’s basketball team. Sophomore presumptive starting point guard Brene Moseley tore the ACL in her left knee on Oct. 21 during a preseason scrimmage and is out until next season, and reserve senior center Essence Townsend tore an ACL during an exhibition game.
