COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Sean Mosley scored a game-high 18 points, including the final seven of the contest, to help Maryland pull away from Georgia Tech and claim a 61-50 victory Sunday afternoon.

Terrell Stoglin and James Padgett each added 14 points for the Terrapins (12-4, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) who have won nine of their last 10 games and downed Georgia Tech for the 11th time in their last 12 meetings.

The Terps led by as many as 12 points in the second half before the Yellow Jackets (8-9, 1-2) cut the deficit to 54-50 with 3:08 left on a three-point play by Brandon Reed.

But Mosley, who had 16 points in the second half, answered on the following possession. With the shot clock winding down, the senior nailed a 3-pointer from the left wing. He hit all 10 of his free throw attempts, including four in the final 1:14.

Kammeon Holsey led Georgia Tech with 11 points. Daniel Miller and Jason Morris had eight points apiece, but leading scorer Glen Rice, Jr., was held to six.
