No. 19 Maryland women’s basketball beats No. 12 Ohio State, 93-90, on game-winner in overtime
With seven seconds remaining in overtime, No. 12 Ohio State’s Madison Greene knotted the score at 90 apiece. With no timeouts remaining, the ball was in the hands of No. 19 Maryland women’s basketball senior guard Sarah Te-Biasu.
Te-Biasu rushed up the court and released a moving floater from 3-point range.
Swoosh.
Te-Biasu drained the shot with one second remaining to secure a 93-90 win Sunday at Xfinity Center in the Terps’ final game of the regular season.
“For the shot, in shoot-around, we do a competition with the half-court shot, and I made that shot,” Te-Biasu said. “It’s crazy because after that, today, you guys see I just made that shot and I was really happy and it felt good.”
In their first overtime game this year, the Terps got revenge on Ohio State, who had beat them earlier in the season.
The Terps fell down early in overtime, as the Buckeyes scored five consecutive points. The Terps came back, though, as Kaylene Smikle knocked down a clutch 3-pointer to tie the game with less than two minutes remaining.
Te-Biasu made another big layup — one that was overshadowed by the game-winner — to give the Terps the lead with 26 seconds remaining.
Smikle also made the biggest defensive play of her season late, forcing a jump ball and giving Maryland possession with 18 seconds left. Allie Kubek was then fouled and split a pair of free throws, giving Ohio State a chance to tie it.
“[Smikle] had her hand on her wrist. And then the ball went to the ground, and then we made a layup,” Ohio State head coach Kevin McGuff said on the Smikle forced jump ball. “I don’t know on what planet we come up with a jump ball.”
Maryland got a huge boost heading into postseason play with the No. 4-seed locked up in the Big Ten Tournament before Sunday’s game tipped off.
The Terps looked good early on, as they broke the press better than they have all season.
Amari DeBerry exploded in the first quarter, recording six points and an assist.
Maryland was strong on the boards and moved the ball efficiently, but struggled to put back offensive rebounds.
Ohio State went into halftime up by a point despite Maryland leading for over 16 minutes in the first half. It had a chance to tie it at the end of the half, but Shyanne Sellers airmailed a pass inside to Christina Dalce with two seconds remaining.
Sellers committed five of Maryland’s seven turnovers in the half but was strong otherwise.
The Terps shot decently from deep, going 5-of-12, but shot worse from the field at 13-of-34.
At the start of the second half, Sellers was carried off the court with an apparent injury, although she returned to a thunderous Xfinity Center.
Both teams were in severe foul trouble in the third quarter; Jaloni Cambridge and Cotie McMahon both had four fouls for Ohio State, while Mir McLean and Christina Dalce each had four fouls for Maryland.
Allie Kubek was strong in the paint Sunday, especially in the absence of Saylor Poffenbarger. She completed a tough and-1, prompting celebrations from the bench.
Kubek also forced a charge on Cambridge; it was the Ohio State guard’s fifth and final foul. With that play, as well as back-to-back Smikle 3-pointers, momentum completely shifted to Maryland.
The Buckeyes then scored three straight baskets, bringing a nine-point lead down to three in the fourth quarter. The Terps could not control their fouling tendencies, and the Buckeyes slowly inched closer.
Ohio State ultimately tied the game after knocking down a 3-pointer and forcing a turnover for a bucket. To make matters worse, Dalce fouled out with two minutes left after being called for a charge.
The Terps and Buckeyes traded baskets with under a minute remaining in regulation. Sellers had a chance to win the game, but her shot was blocked. A subsequent half-court heave by Ohio State was unsuccessful, paving the way for overtime heroics.
“It clearly was a game we were looking forward to ever since Jan. 23 when we felt like it was a game that we let slip away,” head coach Brenda Frese said. “But you saw through this game. I mean, this is what a great team looks like.”
Three things to know
1. The shot. After Xfinity Center was stunned last week — Maryland men’s basketball was beat by a half-court heave — Te-Biasu flipped the script Sunday and delivered on a last-second shot of her own.
“The plays that [the players] made — I mean, none more important than the last play there with Sarah [Te-Biasu],” Frese said.
2. Electricity. Xfinity Center brought a raucous environment that it hasn’t seen for a women’s game all season. The fans were ultimately rewarded with a huge overtime win.
“It means everything to be here and to play here. I mean, a lot of great teams walk through these doors,” Sellers said.
3. Postseason next. The Terps will be back in action Friday for the quarterfinal of the Big Ten Tournament — they secured a double-bye with a top-four seed.
“Clearly we want to be able to host, but if we just continue to separate ourselves in these kinds of wins,” Frese said. “It’s great momentum for us to secure the double-bye and the four-seed as we get ready for [Indianapolis].”

Maryland AG Brown announces $1.99M settlement with LifeBridge Health over hospital fees
MARYLAND (WBFF) — Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown announced Thursday that his office has reached a settlement with LifeBridge Health, Inc. that will provide nearly $2 million in restitution to certain patients who paid outpatient facility fees before new state notice requirements took effect.
AG Brown said the Consumer Protection Division entered into a settlement agreement with LifeBridge concerning hospital fees known as outpatient facility fees that were charged prior to July 1, 2021, when the Facility Fee Right-to-Know Act took effect and established standards for notices about such fees.
The Consumer Protection Division alleged that consumers were not adequately informed they would be subject to the facility fees. LifeBridge denied that patients had been inadequately informed, but agreed to pay $1,985,198.90 in restitution.

The restitution is for patients who paid out-of-pocket for fees charged by certain LifeBridge hospital clinics for clinic services received before July 1, 2021, when those services also were available at a non-hospital facility owned or operated by a LifeBridge affiliate where the consumer would not have incurred a facility fee.
Eligible patients should expect to receive a refund check from LifeBridge over the next six months, according to AG office.

Maryland, California men plead guilty in auto-repair shop drug trafficking case
MARYLAND (WBFF) — A Maryland man and his California accomplice both pled guilty to drug trafficking charges involving the concealment of drugs within auto parts at a repair shop, the Maryland U.S. Attorney’s Office announced Wednesday.
Authorities reported that Norville Clarke, 56, of Clarksburg, Maryland, and Daniel Cruz, 39, of Los Angeles, California, were charged with conspiracy to distribute controlled substances.
In 2023, an investigation targeted a drug trafficking organization that was transporting and distributing large quantities of cocaine from California to Maryland.
The investigation began after police seized a parcel containing approximately two kilograms of cocaine that was mailed from Los Angeles with an intended delivery to Clarke’s auto-repair shop in District Heights, Maryland.

During the investigation, Cruz was linked to the narcotics in the parcel, as well as to its source, authorities reported.
In January 2024, postal inspectors, along with other investigators, identified a freight shipment from Los Angeles intended for delivery at Clarke’s auto-repair shop, and officials said surveillance footage showed Cruz dropping off that shipment at a shipping company in California.
After that, authorities observed Cruz traveling to Maryland to track the shipment’s delivery.
Cruz and Clarke were then seen by investigators meeting at the auto-repair shop several days after the shipment occurred.
Investigators tracked the fright shipment to Dulles, Virginia, where authorities executed a search warrant and recovered two automobile transmissions inside, as well as 20 one-kilogram bricks secreted in both transmissions.
Officials reported that laboratory forensic tests confirmed that the bricks were over 16 kilograms of cocaine.
A search warrant was then also executed for Clarke’s District Heights auto-repair shop, Clarke’s Clarksburg residence, and Cruz’s hotel room in Capitol Heights, Maryland.

At the auto repair shop, officials recovered 502.4 grams of cocaine, and then at Clarke’s residence, officers found two-kilogram bricks of cocaine and $45,730 in cash.
Furthermore, investigators later found another nine historical freight shipments that resembled the original shipment containing cocaine, which Cruz sent to Clarke’s auto repair shop.
In plea agreements, officials said both defendants agreed to have been involved in possessing around 22 kilograms of cocaine in furtherance of the drug trafficking conspiracy.
Both also face a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years and a maximum life in prison, followed by up to a lifetime of supervised release
Cruz’s sentencing is scheduled for Thursday, June 18, at 1 p.m., and the sentencing for Clarke is scheduled for Friday, July 24, at 10 a.m.
