Maryland women’s basketball entered Wednesday night searching for its first ranked win of the season over No. 18 Ohio State.
But the Terps’ effort fell just short.
It was a highly-contested contest throughout the first three quarters, marked by a lively, but ugly brand of play.
The Buckeyes turned it around in the final frame, however, going 10-for-19 from the field, while the Terps went just 7-17. It resulted in a 84-76 Maryland loss, just its seventh defeat at home against a Big Ten opponent since 2014.
“[Ohio State’s] will to win was a little bit greater there at the end.
