No. 13 Maryland women’s basketball and Michigan State headed into halftime even at 40 apiece in a highly competitive first half between two of the hottest teams in the Big Ten.
As the third quarter began, Maryland’s defense looked to immediately apply pressure for chances to break the tie.
The Terps would do just that, led by star senior guard Diamond Miller. Michigan State senior forward Taiyier Parks secured a defensive rebound, but the active hands of Miller jarred the ball loose.
Miller collected the steal and put the layup in to give Maryland a 42-40 advantage.
