No. 11 Maryland women’s basketball survived its first out-of-state road test of the season at Syracuse.
After dominating the end of the first half, the Terps could not put Syracuse to rest throughout the final 20 minutes. But they closed the game out and fought off a late Syracuse push in an 84-73 victory Wednesday night.
“Road wins are precious, and it’s really hard to win on the road especially against a really good team like Syracuse,” head coach Brenda Frese said. “Syracuse was really extra motivated from the last game.”
Kaylene Smikle led the way for Maryland with 20 points, while Allie Kubek racked up 16.
