IINDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Freshman Diamond Miller scored 15 points and classmate Ashley Owusu added 14 to help top-seeded Maryland beat fourth-seeded Indiana, 66-51, on Saturday night in the Big Ten Tournament semifinals.
 
Kaila Charles finished with 11 points and eight rebounds for the Terrapins, who extended their winning streak to 16, the last 11 coming by double figures.
 
Maryland advanced to its sixth straight Big Ten championship game and will take on sixth-seeded Ohio State (21-11) Sunday at 6 p.m. at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The Terps-Buckeyes matchup will be televised on ESPN2.
 
The Terrapins (27-4) broke open a tightly contested affair with a 17-0 run in the third quarter. While pushing their lead from 28-26 to 45-26, they held Indiana (24-8) scoreless on 10 consecutive possessions.
 
"I thought obviously the third quarter our seniors really stepped up, scoring about 15 of our 22 points there in that third quarter," head coach Brenda Frese said. "But I think what makes this team so special is just how they play for one another. That's why it's something that we're really built for with our depth. You look at the season and it's kind of indicative of how we've played all season long, with Ashley in the first half, I thought made some tremendous plays for us, the seniors in the third, and then how special was Diamond in the fourth with the confidence that she played with."
 
Indiana leading scorer Ali Patberg finished with 16 points, matching her average, but endured a 6-of-21 shooting night. The Hoosiers shot 33% as a team.
 
Offense proved particularly difficult to come by in a first half that ended with Maryland ahead 28-24.
 
Patberg, who had 11 points in the half on 4-of-12 shooting, rattled home a 3-pointer to tie the score at 21 midway through the second quarter.
 
Maryland responded with a 7-0 run consisting of shots in the lane by Miller and Owusu and a three-point play by Shakira Austin off of a fast-break opportunity. The Hoosiers went scoreless on seven straight trips during that sequence.
 
Maryland is 15-2 all-time in the Big Ten Tournament after winning the 2015, 2016 and 2017 Tournament titles. The Terps are 12-2 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse and head coach Brenda Frese is 15-3 in the Tournament. For more on the Big Ten Tournament, click here.
