Maryland coach Brenda Frese doesn’t mind learning her players are resilient early if they can figure out a way to win.
The No. 9 Terps (4-0) beat No. 10 South Carolina, 85-61, on Sunday in a game in which they fell behind by 12 midway through the first quarter, but led 22-19 by the time the period ended. It was part of a 26-1 run in which Maryland scored on 12 of its next 15 possessions.
“South Carolina came out with the first punch, but I loved the fact we settled in,” Frese said.
