No. 18 Maryland women’s basketball pulled away with an impressive second half to defeat UMBC, 74-32.
The Terps didn’t find their groove in the first half, and it was evident. They looked rusty, allowing UMBC to keep pace. But Maryland came out of the break firing on all cylinders to stomp any chance UMBC had to stay competitive.
“I think you saw it, first game of the season, especially the first half,” Maryland head coach Brenda Frese said. “I thought the second half, a lot more poise and composure.”
The Terps were strong defensively all night, smothering the Retrievers.
