As time wound down under the two minute mark in the fourth quarter, Maryland women’s basketball was clutching to a small four-point lead over No. 23. Michigan State.
The Terps, who had shot an excellent 53% from the field in the first half, had gone inexplicably cold in the fourth quarter. They had maintained a strong advantage throughout much of the contest, but as Nia Clouden hit a jumper to bring the score to just 83-81, the Terps were in trouble.
Chloe Bibby sunk a layup to extend Maryland’s lead to 85-81, and made free throws from Ashley Owusu and Katie Benzan sealed the Terps lead, allowing them to escape with a 93-87 victory.
