Maryland women’s basketball surrenders lead, falls in overtime at Michigan, 79-77

Maryland women’s basketball held a commanding 15-point halftime lead. It was in complete control of Wednesday’s game.

But Michigan had other plans.

The Wolverines mounted a second-half comeback, eventually tying the score. In overtime, a back-and-forth battle ended with two Michigan free throws with no time left on the clock. Both of which were true, delivering Maryland a shock 79-77 defeat.

The visiting Terps initiated the game with an 11-2 run, capitalizing on numerous Michigan turnovers and two 3-pointers. Despite the Wolverines missing some easy open looks, including a wide-open corner three and a simple layup, they managed to push back against Maryland’s attempts to pull away.
