Maryland (7-1) defeated Minnesota (5-3) 66-45 Thursday evening during the Third Annual Big Ten/ACC Challenge. The Terps' win helped the ACC come out on top during the Challenge for the third year in a row winning seven games to the Big Ten's four.
Sophomore Kim Rodgers had an impressive night, posting a game-high and career high-tying 14 points. She also pulled down eight boards, dished out two assists and was a perfect 5-for-5 from the free throw line. Rodgers has only missed one free throw in 13 tries which spans five games.

Loyola (3-4) will be concluding their six-road game stint with Maryland Sunday following a heartbreaking 66-65 loss to Towson Thursday evening. Sophomore guard Miriam McKenzie leads the Greyhounds in scoring and rebounds averaging 17.4 points and 7.7 boards per game. McKenzie had 19 points, pulled down six boards and tied for a game-high five assists in the team's last game against Towson.
Maryland and Loyola (Md.) will meet for the 19th time in the overall series and the 11th time in College Park.
