• Trailing 62-61 late, junior Kristi Toliver gave the Terps back the lead and they never looked back. Toliver hit a 3-poiner with 4:17 left and followed it with a defensive rebound and jumper in the lane to put the Terps up four. Toliver scored nine points in the final 4:17 of the game.
• With the win, Maryland becomes the first team in the country with 11 victories.
• For the 12th consecutive game, three Terrapins scored in double figures with Toliver notching 19, Laura Harper had 16 and Crystal Langhorne contributed 14.
• The Terps' victory against Middle Tennessee State was their second in as many years, winning at Middle Tennesse State last year, 80-76. Those two games are the only matchups in the all-time series.
• The five-point victory was Maryland's closest home win of the season and the only single-digit win. LSU's 13-point loss is the second closest.
• Senior frontcourt players Crystal Langhorne and Laura Harper combined to score the Terps' first 14 points of the game, with Langhorne scoring eight of the 14.
• Maryland senior Ashleigh Newman played against her former high-school coach and current Middle Tennessee State head coach Rick Insell, who coached Newman at Shelbyville Central in Shelbyville, Tenn. Newman won three state titles with Insell.
• Ashleigh Newman extended her consecutive games streak to 116 and is now tied with Shay Doron (2004-07) for fourth on the list.
• The Terps have only played three games all-time against teams currently in the Sun Belt Conference, including the two against Middle Tennessee State. The Terps lost to Western Kentucky in 1992 in the other game.
