Razor Leads Terps' Women In 80-61 Rout Of Lafayette
Dec. 22, 2000
College Park, Md. - Sophomore forward Renneika Razor (New York, N.Y.) poured in a career-high 25 points to lead Maryland's women's basketball team (8-2) to an 80-61 victory over Lafayette (4-6) Friday at Cole Field House. Junior guard March? Strickland (Kingston, Mass.) also scored 19 for the Terps in the victory.
Maryland came out sluggish in the first half, but gradually built a lead that would total 17 points by the end of the half. Razor paced the half with her 7-7 performance from the floor to take the Terps into the lockeroom with a 42-25 advantage.
Lafayette whittled away the Terps' lead in the second half, keyed by a 14-point half by Leopard guard Jen Bayer. The Leopards would get no closer than eight points, thanks to a good shooting by the Terps and solid defense, which caused 26 Lafayette turnovers during the game. Strickland netted 10 in the second half, as did Razor, with freshman center Crystal Washington (Clinton, Md.) scoring a career-high 10 points. Sophomore guard Terri Daniels (Ellicott City, Md.) had another excellent outing, tallying nine assists to lead Maryland in that category.
The Terps now head home for the holiday break, followed by a trip West for two playing dates on Dec. 27 and 28 against Santa Clara and San Francisco, respectively. Lafayette does not see action again until they come back to the Washington area again to face George Mason on Jan. 2.
