COLLEGE PARK, MD -- Seven Terps scored in double-figures as No. 4 Maryland defeated Georgian Court, 125-33, in its final exhibition match Thursday night at XFINITY Center. All nine Terps who played scored at least one basket and played at least 10 minutes.
Shyanne Sellers, Katie Benzan and Ashley Owusu led the team with 20 points each, with Benzan knocking down 6-8 three-pointers for the second consecutive game. Angel Reese notched a double double, pulling down 11 rebounds to go along with 16 points. Faith Masonius grabbed a team-high 12 rebounds to go along with 11 points for a double double of her own. Chloe Bibby (14 points) and Mimi Collins (10 points) both also scored in double figures.
Maryland shot 66.2 percent from the floor, while limiting the Falcons to a 22.7 percent field goal percentage.
The Terps hit 13 three's on a blistering 72.2 percent.
A New Opportunity
Karen Blair's Take
"We're really proud of the way the team performed tonight. I think you can see a carry-over. Obviously, we can still score the basketball. It's what Maryland Basketball is about and putting the ball in the hoop. I thought we did a lot of good things as a team. I thought we shared the basketball extremely well. I thought we improved from our first exhibition on the defensive end. I think that's something as a whole we had talked about, was really establishing ourselves with a defensive mentality. I thought the team came out and did a great job with that."
