Thousands of fans packed Xfinity Center Wednesday night to see a high-octane matchup between two of the best women’s college basketball teams in the country.
After four back-and-forth quarters, the result didn’t go No. 8 Maryland women’s basketball’s way, but the matchup delivered quite the show. The Terps suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of No. 4 USC, 79-74.
“You win or you learn,” Shyanne Sellers said, quoting one of her head coach Brenda Frese’s mantras. “This is going to be a learning moment for us.”
The Trojans (15-1) were led by star guard JuJu Watkins and center KiKi Iriafen, who each scored 21 points.
