No. 4 Maryland women’s basketball wraps up its two-game season-opening homestand against the Villanova Wildcats on Friday night in College Park.
In its first game of the season Tuesday, the Maryland offense picked up right where it left off. Led by sophomore forward/guard Angel Reese’s double-double — she had 21 points and 14 rebounds — the Terps nearly hit the century mark in a 97-67 defeat of Longwood. It was an overall solid shooting performance for Maryland, sinking 47.4% of its threes. The Terps picked up their defensive intensity in the third quarter, outscoring Longwood 29-13 in the frame and taking control of the game.
