In a battle of unbeaten teams, UConn took on the Maryland Terrapins in front of a sold-out crowd of 17,950 in Maryland. Samuelson was sick before and during the game, seriously enough that Geno Auriemma wasn't sure she was going to play, but she ended up playing 39 minutes. Although she missed several shots in the first half, she came on strong in the second half and led the team in scoring with 23 points. Nurse played all 40 minutes and scored 19 points. Both Collier and Williams committed fouls early and played significant portions of the second half with four fouls before Collier picked up her fifth and fouled out. The Huskies were leading by five points at halftime but opened up the third quarter with a 14–0 run in just over minutes. They needed almost all of it, as Maryland came roaring back in the fourth quarter cutting the lead to five. With the lead down to six, Chong hit a key three-pointer late in the game to extend the margin to nine points. UConn won 87–81, recording its 87th consecutive victory and their 30th consecutive road victory.
