This is the Maryland Minute, a short story followed by a roundup of Terps-related news.
Selma Cadar and Mary Brumfield represented Maryland women’s tennis in the Milwaukee Tennis Classic this past weekend.
Over the course of three days, the duo competed in two doubles matches, and four singles matches each.
Cadar and Brumfield split their doubles matches, defeating Virginia’s representatives, 6-2, before falling to the pair from SMU, 6-1.
In singles, they each split their two matches on day one. Cadar won her next two matches for a final singles record of 3-1, while Brumfield won one of her two matches.
Brumfield also took home the tournament’s sportsmanship award.
“Great weekend for Mary and Selma in Milwaukee,” head coach Katie Dougherty said. “Mary played some of the best tennis she’s played since she’s been at Maryland and Selma had three great wins and is in a great position heading into All-Americans next weekend. This was a great tournament for them playing top competition and I’m very pleased with where they are at this point in the fall.”
The Terps will be back in action at the ITA All-Americans in Cary, North Carolina, next weekend.
