COLLEGE PARK, Md. — The Maryland women’s basketball program had never beaten UConn — arguably the sport’s pillar of dominance and success — in seven meetings, but had its best chance to end that streak on Sunday with the Huskies having only seven players available.
The No. 20 Terps took advantage of their opportunity, as four players scored in double digits to complete an 85-78 upset of the No. 6 Huskies before an announced 12,566 at Xfinity Center.
The victory was noteworthy for Maryland (9-3). In addition to ending that dubious streak against UConn, the program picked up its second upset of the season after stunning No. 7 Notre Dame, 74-72, on Dec. 1 and its fifth win in its last six games.
