NASSAU, BAHAMAS -- The No. 2 Maryland women's basketball team suffered its second defeat of the season, falling to No. 7 Stanford, 86-68, Saturday afternoon in the Baha Mar Hoops Pink Flamingo Championship. For the second straight game, the shorthanded Terps (6-2) fell behind early and lost to a Top-10 foe. 

Ashley Owusu led the Terps in scoring and collected her season-high with 29 points to go along with five rebounds and four assists. Chloe Bibby pitched in 15 points and four rebounds while Mimi Collins added nine points and nine rebounds.

The defending National Champion Cardinal (5-2) was led by Hannah Jump, who had 21 points, and Haley Jones, who had a double-double with 15 points and 13 rebounds. 
 
Brenda Frese's Take
"I built this schedule so we would learn a lot about ourselves. This tournament, the adversity we faced, I think the biggest thing I'm disappointed in is our lack of competing today. We lost our poise, we lost our composure early in this game. Stanford had a lot to do with that. I thought they outworked us, out-hustled us, competed for 40 minutes. That's what a championship team looks like. That's obviously where we strive to be. They showed it for four straight quarters.
 
"We've got to get ourselves back and regroup, get everyone back, get healthy and be able to put the team together that we have. Again, liked our second half, especially our fourth quarter, but not really into moral victories within this tournament. We're trying to play at a higher level than just winning a half or a quarter."

• Owusu (29 points) scored in double-figures for the 56th time in her career, including all eight games this season.
