Maryland Terrapins vs Wake Forest Demon Deacons - Cheryl Treworgy, PrettySporty.com

The #3 Maryland Terrapins distanced themselves from the #7 Wake Forest Demon Deacons, beating them 73-58 during the second semi-final match-up of the day at the 2012 ACC Women's Basketball Tournament taking place at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, N.C. on Saturday.

The Terrapins return to the championship final for the first time since 2009 when they captured the conference title.

Maryland will face the #4 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets who handily defeated an exhausted NC State Wolfpack team in the day's earlier semi-final match-up.

The Wolfpack had become the lowest seed ever (9th) to advance to the tournament semi-final round but couldn't keep up with the Yellow Jackets throughout the game after playing two exhausting days to reach that point in the tournament.
