COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) -- Justin Jackson scored 19 points and fellow freshman Kevin Huerter added a career-high 14 as Maryland never trailed in a 66-56 victory over Saint Peter's on Saturday.

Chazz Patterson led Saint Peter's (4-5) with 13 points. Forward Quadir Welton, who was averaging a team-high 16 points for the Peacocks, was held to five points on 2 of 11 shooting against the Terrapins.

Maryland opened on a 14-0 run, and Saint Peter's didn't score its first points until 11:56 remained in the first half. The Peacocks never cut the margin to less than 10 the rest of the way.

The Terps held a 14-5 scoring advantage off turnovers.
