Maryland women’s basketball has advanced to the second round of the Women’s NCAA Tournament. The second-seeded Terps took down Iona in the first round on Saturday afternoon, even though the game was closer than expected for quite some time.
The encore act at Xfinity Center was the Washington-Penn game, which the No. 7 Huskies won, 65-53, to set up a Monday matchup with the Terps. Washington scored just 7 points in the first quarter but stuck around and pulled away in the fourth quarter. Kelsey Plum, the best scorer in program history, scored 24 points despite a tough shooting night (9-of-25 from the floor, 1-of-8 from deep).
