Terrapins' Efforts Not Enough

The Maryland Terrapins showcased resilience throughout the game, starting strong with 29 points in the first quarter but struggled to maintain momentum against a determined Nebraska team.

Defensively, Saylor Poffenbarger made her presence felt by blocking two shots and securing five rebounds alongside eight points.

Cornhuskers' Dominant Display

Their offensive strategy paid dividends as they managed to shoot at an impressive 51 percent from field goals while maintaining a three-point shooting percentage of 57 percent. This sharpshooting prowess was complemented by their ability to distribute the ball effectively as evidenced by their 21 assists throughout the game.

Nebraska’s dominance in rebounding was another key factor in their victory over Maryland; they outrebounded them significantly which allowed for multiple second-chance opportunities contributing to their high-scoring output.
