COLLEGE PARK, Md. Katie Del Campo and Brianne Dodgen each scored 13 points and combined to shoot 10 of 13 from the field to help lead defending Southern Conference champion UNC Greensboro to a 63-45 non-conference womens basketball win over Maryland.
In what was the season-opening game for both teams, UNCG (1-0) shot 53 percent to just 35 percent for Maryland (0-1), and took advantage of 29 Terrapin turnovers.
The Spartans took a lead midway through the opening half, and led by as many as 12, 29-17, with 1:57 left in the period. The Terps pulled within 35-27 early in the second half before a 9-0 spurt put UNCG in command, 44-27, with 10:34 to play. Samika Foster scored seven of her 11 points during the run and Maryland never got closer than 13 points the rest of the way.
A young Terrapin lineup consisting of as many as four and five freshmen on the floor at a time, got eight points apiece from freshmen March Strickland and Ije Agba, and junior college transfer Cara Ferris. Freshman Deedee Warleys seven rebounds helped Maryland to a 35-26 advantage on the boards.
