About the time freshman Ashley Owusu moved out of Maryland’s starting lineup and started coming off the bench, the Terrapins took off.
In fact, the Terrapins (25-4 overall, 16-2 in the Big Ten) haven’t lost since losing to Iowa Jan. 9, Owusu’s first game in the new role. Owusu and her game that seems more NBA than WNBA have been a key reason.
A consensus top-five recruit nationally, Owusu had started the first 14 games at point guard and was doing just fine, thank you, though she has had the typical freshman ups and downs.
“I’m a very competitive person and that’s what drives me,” said the Woodbridge, Va., native, who has scored in double figures in six of Maryland’s last eight games, usually helping the Terps blast a Big Ten foe.
