With about four minutes to go in the first quarter, Michigan State’s Nia Clouden was taking the ball down the court, looking to shorten Maryland’s eight-point advantage. But the Terrapin defense was determined to not let that happen.
Sophomore forward Faith Masonius brought the pressure from the second the ball was inbounded, and right before the Spartan crossed midcourt, senior forward Alaysia Styles joined in on the effort, swiping away the ball away with ease. Styles dribbled it down to the left side of the basket to sink a layup in the midst of a dominant 17-0 run for the Terps.
