Shakira Austin led No. 10 Maryland women’s basketball’s strong paint play against No. 17 Iowa

With a little over five minutes left in the third quarter against No. 17 Iowa, sophomore forward Shakira Austin was cut in-front of by a Hawkeye defender, resulting in turnover for No. 10 Maryland women’s basketball.

On the other end of the floor, Austin answered back as she deflected a pass back towards the Maryland basket, picked it up, hit a behind-the back-dribble and then a spin move that led to an open layup. The score was two of Austin’s 13 third quarter points as part of the Terps’ 93-59 win Thursday night.

“I like this mean Shakira,” head coach Brenda Frese said.
