Despite a 48.950 team score on the floor — a 9.850 from Aine Reade and a 9.800 from Josephine Kogler — the deficit was too great to overcome, and Maryland fell for just the second time this season as Rutgers snagged its first conference win. The Terps return to action on the road against Michigan State on Feb. 15.
