Takeaways from Maryland women’s basketball’s win at Rutgers

Maryland women’s basketball put an end to its four-game losing streak Tuesday, defeating Rutgers, 67-59.

Here are some takeaways from the contest.

Fatigue played a factor

Fatigue was certainly the overarching theme of the game.

The Terps put a great deal of energy into this past Saturday’s contest against then-No. 3 Iowa, and with another late tip, this time on the road, a slow start was imminent.

In the first quarter, the Terps scored 16 points, but did so on just 6-for-20 shooting. Luckily for them, the Scarlet Knights responded with a paltry 4-for-10 shooting performance of their own.
