Following its dominant pool play performance, Maryland women’s basketball came up short in the World University Games quarterfinals on Friday, losing 76-69 to Australia.
Tori Jankoska led Team USA with 17 points, but all of them came in either the first or fourth quarter. Kaila Charles finished with 16 points and seven rebounds, and Brianna Fraser was the only other Maryland player in double figures with 10 points.
Baylor rising senior Kristy Wallace led Australia with 22 points, and Alex Wilson contributed 17.
Although Australia only outshot the Terps 41 percent to 37 percent, they had a tremendous advantage on the glass.
