They gave it away in regulation, but the IU women got it done in overtime to secure their first-ever win over Maryland.

Indiana (11-2, 3-0) played solid defense throughout and held the Terrapins to just two points in overtime to pull away, 70-63 in front of 5,500 fans at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

It’s no secret. If the IU women’s basketball program wants to secure their first Big Ten title since 1983, they’ll probably need to do something they’ve never done — beat Maryland. Winning the Big Ten is something the Terrapins have done plenty. Although they just joined the Big Ten in 2014, already Maryland has won the league’s regular season crown six times. Over that span Indiana has dropped 11 straight in the series. IU’s latest opportunity to take down the Big Ten’s gold standard comes in the form of a top-10 matchup on Sunday afternoon at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall…

Indiana still won’t be at full strength on Sunday when it travels to Penn State.
