Terps DeFang Panthers, 77-33

Another night, another great defensive effort. After an 8-point (yes 8-points) first half, which included the Terps going on a 20-0 run to end the half, the only question for the rest of the game was whether UNI would break Maryland's school record of 22 points allowed in a game. Alas, Brenda decided to rest some of the starters (if she rested all of them we would be playing 4 on 5) and UNI scored 33 points, matching the effort by George Mason last year. Everyone scored but Newman, who was in a bit of foul trouble, and we shot 55% from the floor. Brenda received a proclamation before the game from the Governor. Win streak now up to 17 and we get a whole three days off between games.

Game Recap | Box Score

Positives

Another outstanding defensive effort. Anytime your opponent's final score is less than what you scored in the first half it's a positive.

Lang's free throw shooting. 3-for-3 on the night, looks like she may have found her touch.

Three-point shooting. UNI had given up only 14 3's all year and we had five on the night.

Jade. 11 rebounds and six points. Good to see the first half benching isn't affecting her.

Newman. Despite being held scoreless, she had six steals and seven rebounds.

Negatives

Turnovers. 16 is too many, but at least it's not 20.

Up Next
at Temple on Sunday at 2. They are 4-3 and coming off a 14-pt win over Stony Brook on Wednesday.
