Maryland women’s basketball entered Tuesday’s game against Rutgers on a four game losing streak and tied for the second-worst Big Ten record.
It desperately needed a boost of confidence — and more than anything — a tally in the win column.
It got both.
The Terps barely trailed the Scarlet Knights all game and gutted out a close, yet dominant finish. Three Maryland scorers ended in double digits as it defeated a struggling Rutgers squad, 67-59.
But it wasn’t easy
With a 13 point lead heading into the final quarter, the Terps had a choice: it could either allow Rutgers to make it a close finish or they could end the contest in their own terms.
