Takeaways from No. 10 Maryland women’s basketball’s 66-56 victory over George Mason

No. 10 Maryland women’s basketball escaped its first game of this weekend’s Navy Classic tournament with a 66-56 victory over George Mason.

The Terps held a lead throughout the first half and survived a comeback effort to improve to 7-0 this season.

Here are three takeaways from Saturday’s game.

Foul trouble haunted the Terps

Maryland women’s basketball got itself into foul trouble, committing 20 fouls on Saturday.

The Terps had 12 fouls in the first half and eight in the second, but that doesn’t tell the full story. Many of Maryland’s key players — including Shyanne Sellers, Kaylene Smikle and Christina Dalce — had three fouls during the third quarter, which allowed George Mason to mount a comeback.
