Maryland women’s basketball holds off Penn State, 69-65

It wasn’t pretty, but Maryland women’s basketball scratched and clawed its way to a 69-65 win Sunday at Penn State.

The Terps led by as much as eight in the first half, but the Nittany Lions rallied and made it a back-and-forth game throughout the second half. Stephanie Jones hit two free throws with 59 seconds left to give Maryland the lead for good, and then a layup with 12 seconds left to ice the game.

Blair Watson’s hot streak continued with 15 points on five threes. The sophomore has now hit at least five threes in five straight games.
