COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Courtney Fredrickson had another standout game for the Wisconsin women's basketball team, scoring in double figures for the third-straight game, but the Badgers fell to No. 2 Maryland on Wednesday night in the Xfinity Center, 89-40.

UM got off to a quick 16-0 start until the Badgers got on the board with a jumper from Malayna Johnson with just 3:48 left to play in the first. The Terrapins would go on to outscore the Badgers 18-5 in the first quarter.

UW hit a spark late in the second quarter with a 7-3 run that was sparked by a triple from Fredrickson at the 4:45 mark (37-10) and was capped off by a layup from senior Avyanna Young to make it 40-14 in
UM's favor (3:31). Maryland carried a 43-14 lead into halftime.

Wisconsin started to hit a stride in the third quarter as six different players scored to put up 17 points, three more points than UW scored in the first 20 minutes.

However, the Terrapins doubled the Badgers' scoring in the fourth quarter to compete the 89-40 victory.

THEY SAID IT
"I think we did something that I don't think I've seen this year, we played the name on the uniform to start the game. There's no question, there was that part of looking petrified, forgetting things, whether it's what we're trying to run offensively or sticking to our principles, obviously we feel like we're a good rebounding team, it was six rebound difference at halftime and ends up being 22 to end the game. Hats off to them, they changed their lineup and don't have their point guard in but they continue what they do and that's to get in transition and really get on the offensive glass.

"I thought for them that their seniors stepped up knowing that they were a man down, I think that's what good teams do is that they don't worry about what they can't control they just go out and execute. I think it's a great learning experience especially for our younger kids, you don't have to go out and you have to battle."

- UW head coach Jonathan Tsipis
