This is the Maryland Minute, a short story followed by a roundup of Terps-related news.

Faith Masonius, a longstanding member of Maryland’s women’s basketball, has announced her transfer to Seton Hall for her final year of college eligibility, according to her post on X.

Beginning her career at Maryland in 2019, Masonius was part of the Terps’ highly-touted recruiting class, which included standout players like Ashley Owusu, Diamond Miller and Zoe Young.

Despite never averaging more than seven points per game during her five-year tenure, the 6-foot-1 forward was consistently recognized as the team’s vocal leader, serving as captain twice.

Among her accolades are the 2023 Big Ten Outstanding Sportsmanship Award and being named Academic All-Big Ten twice. She played in 138 games at Maryland and started all 35 contests in the 2022-23 season.
