In its first game action in over a week, No. 13 Maryland women’s basketball was poised to make a statement in its final nonconference game of the season Wednesday afternoon.
At the 7:56 mark of the first quarter, sophomore forward Shakira Austin swatted a would-be layup by Georgia State guard Tehya Lyons. Senior guard Kaila Charles collected the rebound to spark the fast break, taking it the length of the floor before dumping it to off to Blair Watson for the easy layup.
Watson’s bucket was two of 11 first quarter points for the senior guard, connecting on a trio of three-point attempts to help the Terps start the game on a 14-2 run.
