That inside-outside combination secured the second-seeded Terrapins a berth in the championship game following a 100-89 win against sixth-seeded Michigan State at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Michigan State moments earlier had drawn to 66-60 on Branndais Agee’s three-pointer, her third of the quarter. Walker-Kimbrough’s three-pointer provided Maryland with an 18-10 lead, but the Spartans rallied behind layups from Allen and Taya Reimer and Victoria Gaines’s three-pointer.
