Brinae Alexander sneaked away from her Niagara defender early in the third quarter Wednesday night and found some space on the left wing when the ball found its way to Bri McDaniel, just outside the paint. With her back to Alexander at the three-point line, McDaniel bounced a between-the-legs pass to Alexander, who quickly buried her fifth three-pointer.
The Maryland bench erupted. It was that kind of night for Alexander, who scored a career-high 29 points in just 21 minutes and set the tone in a wire-to-wire 114-44 victory at Xfinity Center. The 114 points were the most scored by the Terrapins since a 115-96 win against Arkansas three years ago to the day.
