COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The Georgetown University women's basketball team looked good for three quarters, but could not hold on as the Hoyas fell 85-66 to the No. 10/10 University of Maryland Terrapins on Sunday afternoon at Xfinity Center. With the loss, the Hoyas move to 1-1 overall, while the Terps improve to 3-0 on the year.
 
Head Coach Darnell Haney
 
"We did a lot of good things today, but we didn't finish the job. We let them hit some shots and start going downhill on us in the fourth. I was proud of our group, we were out there fighting. There were a lot of positives to take away from the game. It's early in the season, and it was disappointing not to win, but it's something we can build off of."
