Postgame Notes
The win improves Maryland's record to 17-0, extending the best start in school history. The Terrapins' nation and school-best winning streak extends to 23, dating back to the first round of the NCAA Tournament on March 19, 2006.
For the first time in school history, the Terps ran through their out-of-conference schedule undefeated. The win improved their OOC record to 16-0 for the season.
The Terps' 40-point win marks the largest margin of defeat for Michigan State since January 28, 2001, a 97-49 loss at Penn State.
The Terrapins outrebounded Michigan State 56-32. The 56 rebounds marks a season high for the Terps, and is the most the Spartans have allowed all season. The previous best by a Michigan State opponent was 44 pulled down by Northridge on December 22, 2006.
The Spartans' 32 rebounds is the fewest they have pulled in all season. Their previous low was 37 in a 57-53 loss to Hofstra on November 22, 2006.
Jade Perry poured in 12 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for her first double-double of the season, the sixth of her career.
Crystal Langhorne knocked down a season-best 28 points on 13-for-14 shooting. Her previous season high was 20.
Langhorne's 28 points gives her 1,465 on her career. That moves her past Marche Strickland (1999-2002) for eighth place on the Maryland all-time scoring list. Strickland put up 1,450 during her career. Next up is Deedee Warley, who poured in 1,512 from 1999-2002.
Langhorne has now put up 10 or more points in 41 consecutive games.
Five Terps scored in double figures. Besides Perry and Langhorne, Kristi Toliver had 12, Shay Doron had 11, and Laura Harper registered 10.
Toliver's 12 points came on four 3-pointers, tying a season high. She was a perfect 4-for-4 from behind the arc. She is the third different Terp in three games to shoot 4-for-4 from behind the arc. Marissa Coleman did it against Marist on Dec. 30 and Sa'de Wiley-Gatewood did it versus NC State on Wednesday.
