No. 4 Maryland women’s basketball wrapped up its season-opening homestand with an 88-67 win over Villanova to improve to 2-0 on the season.
The Wildcats stuck around in the early going because of a strong shooting performance, shooting 8-for-13 from the field and 4-for-5 from beyond the arc. However, it was not long before the Terps pulled away, outscoring Villanova 52-25 in the second and third quarters combined.
Maryland had six players in double figures, paced by Angel Reese’s monster night. Redshirt junior forward Mimi Collins also starred, nabbing 17 points and eight rebounds. It was a balanced scoring attack for Maryland, as junior guard Ashley Owusu had 13 points and graduate student guard Katie Benzan had 12 points.
