No. 1 Terps Crush Miami

Even by Maryland standards, the latest blowout stood out.

Reserve Jade Perry had 19 points and 14 rebounds to help the top-ranked Terrapins achieve a season-high point total by beating the Miami Hurricanes, 111-53, last night in Coral Gables, Fla.

Fellow reserve Ashleigh Newman also scored 19 points, sinking six of seven three-point tries for the Terrapins.

Defending national champion Maryland (18-0, 2-0 ACC) earned its 24th consecutive victory, extending a school record. The Terrapins face No. 3 Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Saturday.

"We just really talked about wanting to come out with our first ACC road game and being able to make a statement," Maryland Coach Brenda Frese said. "Our team's playing with the most confidence I've seen us play with."

Miami (9-9, 0-3) lost its fourth game in a row but only its second this season at home.

The Terrapins, who lead the nation in shooting, finished at 57 percent and topped 100 points for the fourth time this season. Perry went 8 for 10, repeatedly hurting Miami from the top of the key.

"The high-post shot was open," she said. "I was making them, so it was boosting up my confidence."

Marissa Coleman had 14 points, all in the first half, and added nine rebounds for the Terps, who had a 56-25 advantage on the boards.

Crystal Langhorne had 13 points and nine rebounds. Shay Doron scored 14 points, and Kristi Toliver added 12.

"We're just so unselfish, always making that extra pass," Frese said.

Maurita Reid led Miami with 24 points, and Albrey Grimsley added 13. Renee Taylor was held to eight, well below her average of 20.5 per game.
