Following a 91-58 win over Albany in the season opener on Friday, Maryland women’s basketball is back in action Monday against defending national champion South Carolina.
The No. 15 Terps started slow but eventually blew by the Great Danes, using a 25-0 run in the second quarter to pull away. Blair Watson was one of six Maryland players and led the way with 16 points. Brianna Fraser and Stephanie Jones both had their first career double-doubles; Jones finished with a crazy line of 11 points, 18 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and six steals.
The Gamecocks started their title defense with a 99-31 win over Alabama State.
