No. 20 Terrapins Hold Off Hurricanes, 70-65

Feb. 17, 2005

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) - Crystal Langhorne had 29 points and 22 rebounds to lead No. 20 Maryland to a 70-65 victory over Miami on Thursday night, the Terrapins' 200th Atlantic Coast Conference victory.

Shay Doron scored 20 points for the Terrapins (18-6, 7-5 Atlantic Coast Conference), who withstood a late rally to win for fifth time in six games.

Tamara James scored 27 points, Imani Dhahabu added 18 and Yalonda McCormick had 13 for the Hurricanes (12-12, 4-7).

Langhorne's layup with 1:16 left gave Maryland a seemingly safe lead at 67-59, but Miami's James scored six straight points, pulling the Hurricanes within two points with 46 seconds left.

A missed free throw and a turnover by the Terrapins gave Miami the ball, but McCormick missed a jumper that would have tied the game. Dhahabu grabbed the rebound and was fouled, but missed both free-throw attempts with nine seconds left.

Kalika France grabbed the rebound and shot 3-for-4 from the line to seal the win.
