Nebraska Still Winless on Road in Conference after Loss at No. 20 Maryland

Every time the Huskers made a run, the Terrapins were there to answer.

Nebraska(13-4, 3-3 Big Ten) had a near dream start, getting up 10-4 which included a pair of three-pointers from Hannah Whitish and Nicea Eliely. After No. 20 Maryland(13-4, 4-2 Big Ten) closed the gap slightly, they broke it wide open with a 16-2 run. The Terrapins shot 70.6-percent in the first quarter.

The Husker made all three of their three-point attempts in the second quarter, but only managed to play the Terrapins even for the quarter as Maryland led 43-34 at the half.

Each of the second half runs for Nebraska were again answered, including Maryland closing the game on a 19-9 run to take the game 87-69.

Maryland took advantage of 20 turnovers that turned into 29 points. The Terrapins also scored 46 points in the paint while shooting 51.5-percent from the field for the game.

Nebraska didn’t shoot bad, making nine three-pointers and shooting 42.6-percent from the field.

Eliely and Leigha Brown led the Huskers with 19 points. Whitish made three triples to score 10 points while Ashtyn Veerbeek and Isabelle Bourne each scored eight.

For the second consecutive game, Kate Cain was held scoreless.

The Huskers are now 3-3 in the conference, with none of those wins coming on the road.
