Leading by only one possession against winless Rutgers about halfway through the third quarter, No. 17 Maryland women’s basketball could just not put the Scarlet Knights away.
Fortunately for the Terps, sophomore forward/guard Angel Reese was relentless on the offensive glass and was starting to get rewarded. She grabbed a difficult offensive rebound by the baseline with about five minutes to play in the quarter and dished it to graduate student forward/guard Chloe Bibby for a wide-open layup.
On the other end in the ensuing defensive possession, Reese swatted graduate student forward Osh Brown’s layup, which led to a pretty finish by junior guard Ashley Owusu.
