COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) --- Sara Oluchi Okananwa scored 20 points on 9-of-13
shooting, Saylor Poffenbarger added 19 and No. 9 Maryland never trailed en
route to an 84-68 victory over Princeton on Sunday.
Addi Mack added 15 points for the Terrapins (5-0) despite exiting for about
three minutes of the third quarter to receive treatment on an apparent left
ankle injury.
Maryland went 17 of 18 from the foul line.
Madison St. Rose scored 20 points and sank three 3-pointers, and Olivia
Hutcherson added 19 points in Princeton's first game against a ranked opponent.
The Tigers (2-1) were outrebounded 39-28 while narrowly failing to become the
first team to hold Maryland under 80 points.
Maryland gave back most of its 26-10 lead from the end of the first quarter
before for taking control for good with a 12-0 spurt early in the third.
Yarden Garzon's 3-pointer put Maryland's lead back in double digits, before
Okananwa fed Ozzy-Momodou Isimenme for an inside basket and followed with her
own layup to push the lead to 48-33.
Up next Princeton: Opens its home schedule on Wednesday night against Rice. Maryland: Host Bethune Cookman on Thursday night. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.
