WKU also claimed a Sun Belt Conference Tournament championship and appeared in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2008 during Terry's second season at WKU.

Terry saw action in 32 games during her freshman season, scoring a career-high 18 points in a victory over Mercer. Terry injured her knee in December of her sophomore season, but returned to the court for limited action later that season as U of L made a run to the 2009 National Championship Game. She returned to the court her junior year but saw action in just 11 games before ending the season with her third knee surgery.
