Maryland forced overtime after Sarah Te-Biasu hit a game-tying three with 12 seconds left, setting up an intense five-minute battle. The Terrapins had a chance to win it in the first overtime, but Alabama's Sarah Ashlee Barker drew a foul while shooting a three-pointer and tied it at the line as time expired.
