COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) - Ashton Pankey scored a career-high 17 points to lead three players in double figures as Maryland held off upset-minded Radford 65-60 Friday night.
Pankey made 6 of 8 from the field, including a free throw followed by back-to-back dunks as Maryland broke a 45-all tie to take the lead for good with just over 10 minutes to play.
With a 13-6 run, Maryland took a 58-51 with 3:24 left.
Terrell Stoglin, the leading scorer in the ACC, made just 5 of 18 from the floor and failed to score over the game's first 18 minutes.
He finished with 16 points, however, and his three free throws in the final 32 seconds helped ice the game.
James Padgett added 10 points and a team-high nine rebounds for Maryland (7-3) which posted a season-low seven turnovers.
R.J. Price had a career-high 22 points and fellow freshman Javonne Green added 17 points and 11 rebounds for the Highlanders (3-11), who lost their 10th straight.
