COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Redshirt senior Laurin Mincy helped lead the eighth-ranked Maryland women's basketball team to its fifth straight victory with a 65-43 win over Loyola (Md.) on Monday night.

Mincy scored 13 points and sophomore Brionna Jones added a season-high 12 points with seven rebounds for the Terrapins (5-0). Lexie Brown finished with 11 points and has scored in double figures in every game this season for Maryland.

Lisa Mirarchi led the Greyhounds with 15 points, while Bri Betz-White scored 10. Loyola, however, was held to just seven field goals in the second half.

Brown made a pair of 3-pointers and Maryland raced out to a 13-3 lead with 15:56 left in the first half. Betz-White responded for the Greyhounds and her 3-pointer helped pull Loyola to within 19-14 with 11:48 remaining.

Mincy finished with nine points and Maryland closed out the half on a 15-5 run to extend the lead to 38-26.

Maryland put the game away early in the second half. Consecutive 3-pointers by Brown and Chloe Pavlech, followed by a pair of shots by Mincy, increased the margin to 50-30 with 14:17 left. Maryland wasn't threatened the rest of the way and a layup by Kiara Leslie provided a 62-36 lead with 5:43 remaining in the game.

The Terps have now won 15 consecutive games against the Greyhounds since 1998 and lead the all-time series 21-3.

Brown was named to the Wooden Award Preseason Top 30 List Monday. She is one of six underclassmen named to the list.

Shatori Walker-Kimbrough was named to the three-player Big Ten Player of the Week Honor Roll Monday. She averaged 20.5 points and 6.5 rebounds in the Terps' wins over No. 25 South Florida and at George Washington last week.

Maryland is ranked No. 8 in the USA Today Division I Coaches poll and No. 10 in the latest Associated Press poll.
