For the second time this season, No. 13 Maryland women’s basketball found itself in a slugfest with Indiana down the stretch.
Indiana graduate student guard Nicole Cardaño-Hillary capitalized on a corner three, making her first of nine shots on the night and cutting the Maryland lead to 65-64 with 34.4 seconds to play.
With a full shot clock to work with and only a one-point lead, Maryland had to balance running the clock down with taking the best shot possible. It turned to none other than its clutch and ultra-reliable graduate student guard Katie Benzan. Benzan came through the lane for a floater to give Maryland a 67-64 advantage with 11.
