Slow Starts In Both Halves Bury Rutgers Against Maryland

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Lightning didn’t strike twice for the Scarlet Knights.

Just as it did in its midweek matchup with Northwestern, Rutgers headed into halftime of Saturday’s meeting with Maryland with a significant deficit after trailing the entire first half.

There would be no comeback this time, however, as the Terrapins didn’t sit on their laurels — they stepped on the Scarlet Knights throats.

A 12-point deficit turned into Maryland doubling up the Scarlet Knights, 38-19, within two minutes of the second half and expanded to as much as 24 before eventually settling on the final score of 61-51.
