MM 4.18: Maryland’s Jakia Brown-Turner signs with Washington Mystics

By Ryan Sprague

Former Maryland women’s basketball guard Jakia Brown-Turner signed a training camp contract with the Washington Mystics on Wednesday.

Hailing from Oxon Hill, Md., Brown-Turner returned to her home state for a graduate year after four seasons at NC State. As a starter for Maryland, she averaged 13.5 points and 6.4 rebounds per game, earning a selection to the All-Big Ten second team. It was her second all-conference honor, her first coming in 2021, when she was also an all-American honorable mention.

The 6-foot guard made a major impact with the Terps, leading the team in rebounds and finishing second in points. She tallied six double-doubles on the season.

Brown-Turner joins former Terp Shatori Walker-Kimbrough on the Mystics training camp roster, one of five other former Maryland players in the WNBA.

The Mystics begin training camp on April 28, with their first preseason game scheduled for May 4 against the Atlanta Dream.

Penn State a Heavy Favorite Over Maryland in Regular Season Finale

The oddsmakers are expecting Penn State to run away with a victory in its regular season finale against Maryland. The Nittany Lions are a 24.5-point favorite when the Terrapins come to Happy Valley on Saturday.

Penn State is coming off a gritty 26-25 victory at Minnesota in a back-and-forth thriller on Saturday night. The Nittany Lions put the game away with a 5:48 drive to run out the clock that featured three fourth down conversions, including a fake punt that resulted in a 32-yard run by true freshman Luke Reynolds.

Maryland fell to Iowa 29-13 in its home finale on Saturday. The Terps were unable to overcome a 13-0 halftime deceit and an offense that could only produce 227 yards on the day. Maryland enters the game on a four-game losing streak, and have lost six of its last seven. The 4-7 Terps have won only once in Big Ten play, beating USC 29-28 in a fourth quarter comeback.

Penn State beat Maryland 51-15 in 2023 in the teams last meeting. The Nittany Lions and Terps will kickoff at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, with coverage provided by BTN. The game will serve as Senior Day for Penn State.
