Maryland women's basketball suffered its first loss of the season on Monday night, falling to the No. 1 Connecticut Huskies by a score of 83-73 in the Maggie Dixon classic at Madison Square Garden.
Neither team looked very crisp early on. UConn and No. 6 Maryland had 9 and 5 first-quarter turnovers, respectively. The Terps were forced to play most of the period without Shatori Walker-Kimbrough, who normally shines early in games but picked up two quick offensive fouls. Brionna Jones stepped up with 8 points and 3 steals, but UConn took a 21-14 lead into the second.
