Wiley-Gatewood Helps Terps Remain Perfect

As if top-ranked Maryland wasn't already deep enough, the Terrapins unveiled yet another talented player with the ability to take down the opposition: Sade Wiley-Gatewood.

Wiley-Gatewood scored eight of her career-high 17 points during a 25-6 first-half run, and Maryland rolled past Marist, 86-60, last night to win the Terrapin Classic.

Marissa Coleman scored 15 points, and Crystal Langhorne and Kristi Toliver had 11 apiece for the Terrapins (15-0). The defending national champions have won 21 straight, the longest active streak in the nation.

Maryland shot 63 percent and had five players score in double figures.

Meg Dahlman led Marist (9-4) with 12 points.

Wiley-Gatewood was playing in her third game with the Terrapins after sitting out a year following her transfer from Tennessee.

"Sade brings so much to the table with the way she defends, the way she's unselfish and shoots the ball," Maryland Coach Brenda Frese said.
