The script unfolded just as it has in years past, with Maryland trailing Duke and the ball finding its way into Kristi Toliver's hands.
Except this time, the Terrapin point guard saw her 3-pointer rim out, giving the Blue Devils a two-point advantage and the ball with under 10 seconds left.
Nevertheless, Toliver didn't seem too worried about her inability to convert in the clutch Monday, given her history of hitting big shots against the Blue Devils in both the 2006 national championship and the teams' 2008 meeting in Cameron Indoor Stadium.
"I guess it's a little too early in the season to break the Dukies' hearts," she said with a smirk.
