Maryland women’s basketball desperately needed to rebound after a heartbreaking overtime defeat against Michigan on Wednesday. But against Penn State, the outcome was not particularly close.
While the Terps shot 43.8% from the field, the Lady Lions proved unstoppable. They shot a remarkable 61.5% from three-point range in a 112-76 demolition of a struggling Maryland squad.
With the loss, the Terps fell to 4-5 in conference play, firmly placing their postseason hopes on veritable life support.
Maryland took almost three minutes to score its first basket. In that span, Penn State embarked on a 7-0 run, capitalizing on open looks from beyond the arc and executing a patient offensive strategy.
