Maryland's two senior stars—Marissa Coleman (#25) and Kristi Toliver—who had made no secret of their desire to win the program's first ACC tournament championship since 1989 started to celebrate. Seconds later, when the game was officially over, balloons and streamers dropped onto the Greensboro Coliseum court.
Coleman scored 28 points and Toliver added 24. Both players were named to the all-tournament team, and Coleman was the tourney MVP.
Duke rallied from six points down over the final 80 seconds of regulation and sent the game into overtime on senior Chante Black's one-handed putback with less than three seconds on the clock.
