SAN ANTONIO, Texas (AP) –  The Maryland Terrapins are ruthless and relentless on offense and rolling once again into the Sweet 16.
 
Angel Reese scored 19 points, leading a wave of scoring off the bench, as No. 2 seed Maryland and its offensive juggernaut overwhelmed No. 7 Alabama 100-64 on Wednesday in the second round of the women's NCAA Tournament. Maryland advanced to its 14^th NCAA Sweet Sixteen and ninth under head coach Brenda Frese.
 
"It showed the balance of our team and the depth that we have," Frese said.
 
And just how scary this bunch may look to the rest of the tournament field.
 
The Terrapins (26-2) came into the tournament with the nation's highest-scoring offense and have yet to take their foot off the gas. The Terps are averaging 99 points in their two tournament wins after scoring 91.3 per game in the regular season.
 
Maryland hit the 100-point mark for the seventh time this season and got 46 points off the bench. The Terps were so dominant, season scoring leader Ashley Owusu didn't make her first basket until the lead was already 46-23 in the second quarter. Five Maryland players scored in double figures.
 
"Obviously its fun when you've got your bench coming out and destroying," said reserve Faith Masonius, who added a career-high 16 points. "That's a championship team right there."
 
The Terps also played aggressive, suffocating defense. Maryland harassed ballhandlers in the backcourt, smothered briefly open shooters and controlled the rebounding.
 
Jasmine Walker led Alabama (17-10) with 23 points. Jordan Lewis who had 32 points, and 11 rebounds and eight assists in Alabama's first-round victory, had eight points, two rebounds and one assist against Maryland's defensive pressure.
 
The Terps ran out to a 30-9 lead after the first quarter, shot 68% over the first half and scored in every possible way. Mimi Collins scored her team's first nine points. Maryland made four consecutive 3-pointers and Alabama looked bewildered just trying to find the ball.
 
"They are just really hard to guard. They are so good offensively and we just really didn't have an answer," Alabama coach Kristy Curry said.
 
By the second quarter, Maryland was pushing the ball inside for Reese, whose power moves and scoop layups in the post propelled a 24-point second quarter that built a 54-25 lead by halftime. Alabama paid for every mistake: Maryland turned 11 turnovers into 18 points in the first half.
 
Alabama finally showed some life to start the third quarter. Maryland missed its first two shots and consecutive 3-pointers from the Crimson Tide cut the lead to 22.
 
That was enough for Frese, who won a national championship in 2006. After Frese called timeout, the ball pressure and quick ball movement returned and a 7-0 run with a 3-pointer from Chloe Bibby had the lead back to 29 in a blur.
 
"Today was about emptying the tank," Frese said. "We wanted to go hard, and play hard for 40 minutes."
 
The Terrapins are 48-26 (.649) all-time in the NCAA Tournament and 36-14 (.720) under Frese.
 
The Terrapins, who are the No. 2 seed in the Hemisfair Region, will face either the No. 3-seed UCLA (17-5) or the No. 6 seed Texas (19-9) Sunday in the NCAA Regional Semifinals. Game time, location and television information will be released later Wednesday evening.
