Diamond Miller scored eight of her 17 points in the first quarter to help No. 8 Maryland start strong and Ashley Owusu had 22 points in an 88-63 victory over No. 12 Michigan that clinched a share of the Big Ten title.

The Terrapins can win the conference championship outright with a win against Penn State at home on Saturday. Since joining the conference, Maryland has at least shared the Big Ten title six time in seven seasons.

The Wolverines were led by Naz Hillmon, who had 19 points.
