State women: No. 10 Maryland routs Mount St. Mary's in season opener

Junior Tierney Pfirman had 16 points and 11 rebounds off the bench as the No. 10 Maryland women's basketball team defeated visiting Mount St. Mary's, 109-45, Friday in the season opener for both teams.

"My main goal was to go out and have fun," Pfirman said. "When I have fun everything else reveals itself, team work, everything. Going out there and getting my first offensive rebound, that was a pretty big motivator, so I just figured since I got the first one, then why not get 10 more."

Seven Terps scored in double digits, including freshman reserve Kiara Leslie with 16, in their first game in the post-Alyssa Thomas era.

Maryland started the game on a 9-0 run, led by five points from sophomore Lexie Brown who finished with 12, and the Terps led 57-25 at halftime.

Jacqueline Brewer led the Mount with 12 points.

William & Mary 72, Loyola Maryland 71: The visiting Greyhounds were ahead by one entering the final minute but were unable to hold on as a late layup by the Tribe won the game.

UMBC 93, Eastern 68: Capree Garner scored 16 points, leading five players in double digits, as the host Retrievers recorded their highest point total since November 2009.

North Carolina A&T 52, Navy 47: The Aggies overcame a six-point halftime deficit and held the visiting Mids scoreless for nearly eight minutes in the second half.

Penn State 71, Towson 64: Despite a career-high 32-point performance by Dominique Johnson, the Tigers lost to the host Nittany Lions in the preseason WNIT's first round.
