No. 7 Maryland women’s basketball downs Purdue, 78-69

No. 7 Maryland women’s basketball fell behind early at Purdue, playing its worst half of basketball all season.

The Boilermakers — a much worse team on paper — led by 12 points after the first quarter and nine by halftime. But Saturday was a tale of two halves, as the Terps corrected their mistakes and scored 49 second-half points en route to 78-69 win in West Lafayette, Indiana.

“I’ll never take a road win for granted, especially with our start. I don’t think you could have had a worse start for us,” head coach Brenda Frese said.
