Maryland women’s basketball continued to catch fire late in this season, winning its fourth straight game with an 81-62 victory over Rutgers on Wednesday.
Here are three takeaways from the game.
The Terps locked in on defense
Maryland head coach Brenda Frese’s teams are known for their defense. And while the Terps have allowed the second most points per game in the Big Ten this season, they stepped their game up Wednesday.
Throughout the whole first half, the Terps rarely moved into a zone. The team stayed in man-to-man, and while Destiny Adams scored 10 points, the rest of Rutgers’ team scored just 10 points in the half.
