No. 3 Maryland women’s basketball notched its first marquee win of the season in its biggest game to date, squeaking past No. 6 Baylor, 79-76.
“I can’t tell you how special it was to have our fans here today,” Maryland head coach Brenda Frese said. “Obviously, they’re our sixth man. It’s been so long since we’ve had just a crowd like that. You see here in Maryland what we’re able to draw.”
Maryland struggled in the first quarter, trailing by four after 10 minutes. Baylor was scorching hot in the period, shooting 9-of-13 from the field, while the Terps were struggling to find buckets early on.
