Quotes
• Maryland's victory is their seventh in a row, improving their record to 21-2, 8-1 in the ACC. It is their best start since the 1988-89 season, when they ran their record to 29-2.
• The victory give the Terps their first regular season sweep of Virginia since 1989. They defeated the Cavaliers in Charlottesville, Va., 84-74 in overtime, on Jan. 20.
• The victory ensures the Terps of their first winning record in ACC play since the 1996-97 season. They have finished with a .500 record in each of the last two seasons.
• For the ninth time this season, at least five Terps scored in double digits. Laura Harper, Shay Doron, Kristi Toliver, Crystal Langhorne, and Marissa Coleman all reached double figures. It is the first time the Terps accomplished this since five Terps scored in double figures in a 75-57 victory over Florida State on Jan. 16 in College Park.
• Laura Harper recorded her third double-double of the season, booking 17 points and 10 rebounds.
