Punches thrown during Maryland-Michigan women’s basketball game
The Michigan-Maryland women’s basketball game was paused when a fight over a loose ball turned into an on-court brawl Wednesday night.
Michigan’s Lauren Hansen and Maryland’s Bri McDaniel got tangled up while battling for a loose ball with less than four minutes left in the third quarter — when the Terrapins led the Wolverines, 52-44, at the Crisler Center in Ann Arbor.
Things turned physical and it appeared punches were thrown, as shown in a video of the scuffle, which was posted by Women Hooping on YouTube.
The referee blew the whistle, but Hansen and McDaniel continued going at it.
Players from both teams attempted to separate the two, and a referee was seen escorting McDaniel to the sideline.
“Some hands were kind of thrown,” one of the broadcasters said when a replay video showed a different angle of the scuffle.
Both McDaniel and Hansen were given technical fouls and ejected after a review.
Hansen, who had played for most of the game up to that point, had 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting when she was ejected.
Michigan went on to beat Maryland, 79-77, in overtime.
Michigan rallied and came back to force overtime after Maryland went cold offensively — attempting only nine shots in the fourth quarter.
A failed inbounds play that led to a turnover ruined Maryland’s chances of winning the game in extra minutes.
Maryland coach Brenda Frese was surprised the skirmish didn’t inspire her squad.
“I thought [the ejection] was going to motivate us,” Frese said. “But it didn’t really rally us in any way. I thought Michigan was just a lot more inspired [after the ejections].”
Chyra Evans led the Wolverines with 17 points, eight rebounds and five assists, while Jakia Brown-Turner recorded 12 points, six and seven for the Terrapins.
Maryland (12-7) will travel to State College to face Penn State (14-5) on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
The Wolverines (14-6) visit Michigan State (14-5) on Saturday at 12 p.m. ET.
After suffering just their second loss of the season against Oregon State on Tuesday, the USC baseball team looked to get back on track over the weekend when they traveled across the country for a three-game series at Maryland. It was not the prettiest, but the Trojans were able to take the series, winning two of their three games against the Terrapins.
On Friday, USC jumped out to an early lead and survived late. After leading 10-2 through three innings, the Trojans survived a late Maryland rally and emerged with an 11-10 victory.
On Saturday, the team suffered just its third loss of the season, falling 6-4. On Sunday, however, the Trojans came out hungry for payback and delivered just that, winning 14-4 in an eight-inning mercy rule affair.
USC has now won all seven of its series to open the season, including all four in Big Ten play. The Trojans now sit at 26-3 on the year and 10-2 in conference.
USC will now return to the West Coast for a matchup with UC Santa Barbara at Dedeaux Field on Tuesday night. They will then head to Westwood next weekend for a three-game series against rival UCLA. With both teams currently ranked in the top ten, it sets up to be the biggest baseball Crosstown Showdown in many years.
A reckless endangerment charged has been added in the case of a man charged after a 7-year-old boy fired a gun inside a Maryland elementary school in early February.
A new charge was added to the accidental gun discharge case from February that’s tied to an Anne Arundel County school.
Court records show that one count of reckless endangerment was filed against Eashan John Stefanski, a 34-year-old Pasadena man, Thursday.
He was initially charged with leaving a loaded firearm accessible to a minor in February, when a 7-year-old boy accidentally discharged a gun at Freetown Elementary School in Glen Burnie, Maryland.
The new charge was added more than a month after the incident, which saw the child suffer an injury to his hand.
Detectives found the gun was obtained from the boy’s home.
Stefanski is the boyfriend of the child’s mother, The Baltimore Banner reported.

A Republican-backed proposal to tighten oversight of nonprofits that receive taxpayer funding is moving forward in Annapolis, marking what supporters describe as a rare win for House Republicans.
The measure comes as recent estimates show about 9,000 Maryland nonprofits are listed as noncompliant with the state, despite many of them still receiving taxpayer dollars.
The proposal is not final. It still must pass the Senate before it can reach the governor’s desk.
David Williams of the Taxpayers Protection Alliance joined the broadcast to weigh in on the measure.
