No. 13 Wolfpack Women top No. 9 Maryland, 66-59

NC State picked up an impressive win in Reynolds Coliseum over the Maryland Terrapins on Thursday night. The Wolfpack Women prevailed despite turning the ball over 28 times and finishing with a -11 turnover margin. That’s hard to overcome, especially against a good team. How’d the Pack do it?

Offensively, State maximized its effective possessions (possessions ending with a shot attempt of some sort) by posting a 53.6 eFG% while grabbing over 57% of its missed shots. The Pack absolutely demolished Maryland on the boards and had a decisive edge in shooting percentage.

Factors

Maryland shot 9-19 from three but was stymied inside, where it hit only 13 of 46 two-point attempts.
