When it looked like one team would pull away, the other one punched right back. All night, it was a back-and-forth contest, just like a top-20 matchup should be.
But the No. 20 Maryland Terrapins delivered the final blow.
Diamond Miller, already with 29 points and 12 boards, put the exclamation point on her outstanding night. Off one foot, falling back, Miller nailed a buzzer beater from the elbow to give the Terps the dramatic 74-72 victory at No. 7 Notre Dame.
Head coach Brenda Frese’s squad finished the ACC/Big Ten Challenge 13-2 all time.
Maryland staved off an early punch from Notre Dame, which looked dominant on both sides of the ball early, jumping out to a 7-0 lead in the heavyweight contest.
