Terrapin Triumphs


The Maryland Terrapins demonstrated exceptional efficiency throughout the match, ending with an overall efficiency score of 80 compared to the Wildcats' 39. This significant difference underscored Maryland's superior gameplay and strategic execution on both ends of the court.

Wildcats Efforts


Despite their loss, Northwestern Wildcats displayed resilience and managed to lead at certain moments during the match.

Nick Martinelli led his team with determination but ultimately fell short against Maryland’s defense.


Northwestern had an effective free throw percentage of 85 percent but struggled from beyond the arc with only a three-point shooting percentage of 21 percent. Their efforts were further hampered by committing more personal fouls (22) than Maryland (14), which contributed to their inability to gain momentum during critical phases of the game.
