Rutgers women’s basketball loses second straight game to Maryland

Rutgers women’s basketball struggles in loss at Maryland.

For the second time this season, Rutgers women’s basketball struggled against the Maryland Terrapins on Wednesday night. Maryland emerged with an 81-62 win in a Big Ten battle. The Scarlet Knights struggled to play a complete game in their latest conference loss.

While Rutgers played better in the second half, they were outscored 22-4 in the second quarter. That allowed Maryland to build a lead that they would not relinquish.

In this matchup, Maryland was led by Shyanne Sellers, who had another big game. The Aurora, Ohio, native scored a team-high 21 points. She also got help from Allie Kubek, who added 16 points and four rebounds to her resume.

 

Although Wednesday ended in disappointing fashion for Rutgers, there were a few bright spots. That includes Destiny Adams, who scored 15 points. She has provided a spark offensively in her first year at Rutgers, averaging 15.3 points per game. Kassondra Brown and Lisa Thompson also made an impact, scoring 11 points.

With their 29th game of the season in the books, Rutgers will shift its focus to Michigan State. They are set to take on the Spartans on February 24.

For the second time this month, Rutgers women’s basketball will take on Maryland on Wednesday night. After a tough start to the season, Rutgers has played better of late and recorded two conference wins. Against the Terrapins, they will be looking for redemption.

In the first matchup of the season between these two teams, Maryland recorded a 67-59 win. They were led by Shyanne Sellers, who scored a team-high 16 points. She got some help from Allie Kubek, who hauled in six offensive rebounds.

 

As Rutgers looks to get back on track, they will need a big game from Destiny Adams. The Lakehurst, New Jersey native has been the team’s most consistent player on offense. Against Wisconsin on February 17, she scored 17 points and added 10 rebounds to her resume.

After a disappointing loss to Wisconsin, Rutgers will need to avoid a slow start to emerge with a win. Against the Badgers, they only scored 18 points in the first half. As a result, they were unable to get back into the game as their offense improved.

Additionally, they will face a Maryland team that has won three straight. The Terrapins looked much better in conference play during that stretch and scored at least 67 games in three straight games. With wins at a premium, this game should be exciting from start to finish.
