Box Score COLUMBIA, SC -- Despite an impressive offensive performance in the first half, No. 14 Maryland could ultimately not keep up with No. 6 South Carolina on Sunday afternoon at Colonial Life Arena, falling 114-76.

Brown-Turner scored 10 first-half points and 12 overall in addition to corralling five rebounds. Bri McDaniel and Brinae Alexander each added 10 points and made a pair of threes. 

The two teams both flexed their impressive shot-making skills in the first half as Maryland shot 7-12 from three and South Carolina was 6-of-15. The Terps held a 32-31 lead with 2:49 remaining, but the Gamecocks finished strong in the final minute of play and carried that momentum into the second half. 

Maryland will travel to No. 2 UConn on Thursday, Nov. 16 for another nationally-televised match, this time on FS1 at 6:30 pm. 

Brenda's Take

"Loved our fight to start the game. I thought the first 16 minutes we came in really confident. I thought we battled and were able to match them on the boards. I think the last three-and-a-half minutes they just wore us out. We made a lot of silly mistakes. I don't know if I've seen a game with so many and-ones. I thought Bri and Allie had some really good minutes off the bench...It's a growth week for us knowing we've got two top-10 opponents in South Carolina and UConn and we know these games will make us better in the future."
