Terps Use Second Half Run to Cage Tigers and win WNIT, 75-62

Four years ago in Colorado, an LSU team led by Seimone Augustus defeated a young Maryland squad by 13 points. Nearly four years later, Maryland exacted revenge with a 13 point win, 75-62. that's a 26 point swing in four years. One reason for that swing could be Kristi Toliver who went off for 23 and should be a lock for ACC POW. For the second-straight game, Maryland couldn't handle the defense of their opponent and made some foolish turnovers early on, while not forcing many themselves. Like in the ND game, the turnovers didn't affect the offense as Maryland led by as many as 10. In the second half, LSU looked like they were trying to take control, but a 13-1 run dashed those hopes.

I have been really impressed with Maryland's defense thus far in the young season. We have done our best to contain some of the post players in the country. I would like us to react better to the three-point shooters as Quianna Chaney was firing away with open looks.

Strickland seems to getting more comfortable as she was taking contested three-pointers.

Player of the Game: Jade Perry. She gave up as many as 8 inches to Fowles yet recorded a double-double and forced Big Syl to take several tough shots. If she can develop a more consistent outside shot, she may have a chance in the league.

Next up: Loyola on Tuesday at home. See you there.
