With about six and a half minutes to go in the first half, Maryland women’s basketball was up by just seven points as Northwestern was looking to build its momentum.
With six seconds on the shot clock, Wildcat Jordan Hamilton got the ball on the right side of the basket outside the arc. Freshman Angel Reese towered over the 5-foot-8 guard on defense, forcing her to try to pass the ball under the basket.
But the pressure applied was too tight and Maryland forced a turnover to the eruption of the team’s bench. The Terps capitalized on the takeaway for a triple on the other end, sparking a 22-2 run for the Terps.
