The Maryland women’s basketball team’s opening exhibition drew national headlines, as the fifth-ranked Terps defeated Bluefield State, 146-17, Wednesday night. Bluefield State, a Division II program that finished 2-24 last season, did not score in the second half. The Terps ended the game on a 78-0 run.
Sunday afternoon, a school that hasn’t won a game since 2012 came to Xfinity Center. The Terps didn’t win by 129 points, but that number was within reach.
Here are 10 statistics from Maryland’s 153-27 win over Mary Baldwin:
1. Center Jenna Staiti, the Terps leading scorer, converted two more field goals and had two less points than Mary Baldwin’s entire team.

6. Halfway through the third quarter, Mary Baldwin had 22 shot attempts. The Terps had 22 offensive rebounds at that same mark.
7. All but three of Maryland’s players are at least 6 feet. Mary Baldwin’s tallest players are 5-foot-10.
