The Terps (10-5, 2-2 Big Ten) fell to 18-3 against Michigan State, losing for the first time since Jan. 17, 2019.
“We’ve got to get better at controlling our emotions,” Coach Brenda Frese said. “These are high-level games now that we’re involved in. And I think sometimes we take away opportunities from ourselves or we’re upset about a call or not focused on the right thing or the game plan. I thought we did a really good job for the first 20 minutes, and we lost our poise and composure in the second half.”
The opening 20 minutes were one of the best defensive performances of the season for Maryland.
