COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Sophomore middle blocker Stephanie Smith (Bethesda, Md.) connected on a season-high 12 kills and hit a career-high .667 to lead the University of Maryland women's volleyball team to victory over Morgan State at the Terrapin Invitational in College Park on Friday. The Terps, now 6-2 for the year, won in three games (30-15, 30-20, 30-22).

Smith played three games, recorded a block and no attacking errors for the match. The Terrapins' attack was a well-rounded one against the Bears, as eight players posted kills.

DiLivio also had three service aces and 10 digs, while Treadwell hit .353 with five digs.
