Despite leading for most of the second half, Maryland women’s basketball faced some adversity in the fourth quarter. The Terps’ double-digit-point lead had been cut to six with just over four minutes to go.
But neither team scored in the next minute, as Maryland slowed the game down and showed composure. Bri McDaniel drove to the basket and dished to a cutting Allie Kubek, who finished to give the Terps an eight-point advantage.
Kubek led the way for Maryland with 15 points, and her clutch bucket helped the Terps win, 72-64.
Maryland’s defense had one of its best performances of the season.
