The Big Ten/ACC Challenge was exactly that for No. 8 Maryland women’s basketball on Thursday night: a challenge.
The Terps and the Hurricanes were exchanging buckets all night long, and neither team was able to completely establish its grip on the game until the final two minutes.
With the game tied at 72 and only 80 seconds to play, graduate student guard Katie Benzan fed sophomore guard/forward Angel Reese down low for an opportunity for two. Reese used her strength for a layup plus the foul, but she missed the foul shot. There to bring down the offensive rebound was junior guard/forward Faith Masonius, keeping the possession alive.
