Another day, another blowout win for No. 4 Maryland women’s basketball. The first team that attempted to lay siege to Xfinity Center, Longwood, left College Park with a 97–67 loss. The next challenger, Villanova, suffered an 88–67 drubbing. Next up, James Madison plays host to the No. 4 team in the nation.
In a 21-point win that was wrapped up by the end of the third quarter in the matchup with Villanova on Friday, head coach Brenda Frese rested four of her five starters. Katie Benzan, Mimi Collins, Ashley Owusu and Angel Reese played a combined total of nine minutes — neither Owusu nor Reese played in the final frame.
