After a pair of relatively demanding games against opponents from Power 5 conferences, the seventh-ranked Maryland women’s basketball team blunted any need for drama down the stretch Sunday by pulling away in the first half of a 92-61 win against visiting UMBC.
The Terps remained undefeated thanks to another typically robust interior performance. With an overwhelming advantage in height, length and depth along the front line, Maryland held a 50-18 margin in points in the paint, a 20-1 advantage on second-chance points and a 44-28 rebounding disparity at Xfinity Center.
Every member of the roster scored for Maryland, which received 45 points from reserves and played for the first time since dispatching visiting Georgia Tech, 67-54, Thursday night in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
