No. 8 Maryland women’s basketball entered Saturday’s game in Madison, Wisconsin, shorthanded, without Saylor Poffenbarger due to an illness and Sarah Te-Biasu due to left ankle soreness.
Throughout most of Saturday’s action, Maryland was in a dog fight with Wisconsin, failing to overpower the Badgers.
But despite being on upset watch, the Terps dominated the fourth quarter to take down Wisconsin, 83-68.
“We figured today would be a battle, with us losing two starters,” head coach Brenda Frese said. “This group found a way to win. Sometimes, that’s what it takes on the road.”
The Terps had an early advantage, but the absence of multiple starters was evident.
