With less than a minute to go in the first half after a 12-day break from gameplay, Maryland women’s basketball was looking for its breakthrough moment.
As Penn State got the ball back, the Maryland bench erupted, willing a forced turnover that was corralled by senior forward Chloe Bibby. The Terps brought the ball down the court and gave it to the 2019-2020 Big Ten Freshman of the Year Ashley Owusu who held the ball at midcourt before driving right and faking out the defender to sink the jumper and extend Maryland’s lead to nine at the half.
