Maryland women's basketball cruises past Mount St. Mary’s, 98-45, in first round of NCAA Tournament

With eight minutes left in the second quarter and No. 15 seed Mount St. Mary’s still within single digits, No. 2 seed Maryland women’s basketball went on one of its most dominant runs in a quarter this season.

Senior guard Katie Benzan took a pass from senior forward Chloe Bibby underneath the Terrapin basket and accelerated with a burst of speed into the Mountaineers’ zone. Benzan darted past one defender, then another, as she flew in the paint towards the basket and beat the last three Mountaineers to the hoop and sunk in the underhand layup to cap off an 18-0 run for the Terps.
