College of Charleston Ends Maryland's Season
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The 12th-seeded College of Charleston extended the nation's
longest winning streak to 23 games, upsetting fifth seed
Maryland, 75-66, in the first round of the NCAA Tournament
Southeast Region at the Pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee.
Stacy Harris scored 22 points to pace College of Charleston
(29-2), which extended the streak of 12th seeds winning
first-round games to nine years. The Cougars evened their
record against Atlantic Coast Conference teams in the NCAA
Tournament at 1-1. Charleston fell to Wake Forest, 68-58, in
1994.
Keith Booth scored 18 points to lead Maryland (21-11), which was
bounced from the NCAA Tournament in the first round for the
second straight year. The Terrapins were ousted by Santa Clara,
91-79, in a West Region first-round game last season.
The Terrapins concluded their season with five losses in six
games. Starting guards Terrell Stokes and Laron Profit did not
start after violating team rules.
