INDIANAPOLIS — In the rubber match of their three-game series, fifth-seeded Indiana got the best of fourth-seeded Maryland women’s basketball, defeating the Terps, 62-51.
“Obviously extremely disappointed in the loss,” Maryland head coach Brenda Frese said. “I mean, this is a feeling for us that we’re not used to, but I think it shows you just how tremendous the league has been all season long.”
Maryland stumbled out of the gates, getting off to a poor shooting start. It trailed at the end of one quarter, 18-13, and was never able to recover from that deficit. The Terps shot only 31% from the field and could not find their footing all game long.
