Big Second Half Push Falls Short, Huskies Fall To No. 16 Maryland
February 09, 2025 | Women's Basketball
SEATTLE β The Washington women's basketball team (14-10, 5-7 Big Ten) nearly pulled off a second half comeback Sunday afternoon before ultimately falling to No. 16 Maryland, 81-73.
The Huskies narrowed a once 20-point third quarter deficit to just four points by the fourth, outscoring the Terrapins (19-5, 9-4 Big Ten) 22-16 in the final 10 minutes in front of 4,819 fans inside Alaska Airlines Arena.
Elle Ladine led the charge of three Dawgs in double-digit scoring, as the junior notched 23 points (9-for-18) and connected on five three-pointers.
Sayvia Sellers put up 19 points, five assists, and tied a career-high five steals, three of which came in clutch moments in the fourth quarter.
Dalayah Daniels added another double-double, finishing the afternoon with 12 points, 10 rebounds, four blocks, three assists, and three steals.
Daniels moved her way up in the Husky history books, slotting herself into the No. 2 spot on UW's all-time blocked shots list.
Β
With four blocks today, her third game this season with 4+, Daniels passed Liz Chicane (1980-83) for second most blocks in a Washington uniform. She now has 146 blocks at UW and 193 in her career.
Washington put up a strong first quarter offensive surge, jumping out to a 27-19 advantage after one. The Terrapins responded with a 25-point second quarter of their own to take an eight-point halftime lead.
The Dawgs were down by as many as 20 with under three minutes to go in the third quarter. Washington chipped away at a 14-point deficit at the start of the fourth quarter, cutting the Terrapin lead to four and forcing three straight turnovers with just under five-and-a-half minutes to play.
Β
The Huskies registered 16 points off 15 Maryland turnovers while committing just 10 of their own, tied for the second lowest count by the team this season. Β
Washington will now head down I-5 to face the familiar foe Oregon Ducks on Wednesday, Feb. 12 before returning to Alaska Airlines Arena for back-to-back conference matchups with No. 7 USC and Rutgers.
