ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Anthony Cowan scored 24 points, Darryl Morsell added 15 and Maryland used a second-half surge to defeat pesky Navy 78-57 Friday night.

The Terrapins (2-0) were locked in a tie game with 14:36 left before they finally got into a groove behind backcourt mates Cowan and Morsell.

Morsell made two free throws to put Maryland in front for good and Cowan buried a 3 to give the Terrapins a bit of separation.

Minutes later, Morsell had a dunk and a layup in a 10-3 spree that made it 54-44.

Despite going 5 for 23 from 3-point range, Maryland outscored Navy 23-12 at the foul line and forced 17 turnovers.
