Guard Kelsey Marshall led Miami in scoring with 24 points to go along with a game-high six assists, but it was not enough to defeat No. 8 Maryland as the Canes fell 82-74 in College Park.
“I thought it was a real good basketball game at the end of the fourth quarter,” Miami head coach Katie Meier said. “[Maryland] executed down the stretch … They’re a great basketball team.”
It was a back-and-forth battle for much of the contest, with the Terrapins (7-2) finally pulling ahead for good in the game’s final minutes. Entering the fourth quarter with a 60-59 lead, the Canes were outscored by nine in the final period of action.
