William & Mary Tribe @ Maryland Terrapins
No. 8 Maryland stays undefeated with 107-57 rout of William & Mary, Smikle tops 1,000 career points
COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- — Kaylene Smikle scored 14 of her 21 points in the first half, surpassing 1,000 for her career as No. 8 Maryland rolled past William & Mary 107-57 on Thursday.
The 11 a.m. start time was part of Maryland's Field Trip Day, which included free admission for schoolchildren, teachers and chaperones. That made for a loud, high-pitched environment, and the Terrapins (11-0) gave the youngsters plenty to cheer about.
William & Mary (3-8) was led by Bella Nascimento, who scored 16 points.
Smikle reached the 1,000-point mark in the second quarter with a 3-pointer that gave Maryland a 44-21 lead. She played two seasons at Rutgers before transferring to Maryland.
The Terps finished the game with a 20-1 run.
William & Mary: The Tribe came into the game shooting just 24% from 3-point range and was a bit worse than that Thursday, going 7 for 30 (23.3%).
Maryland: This was part of a 21-day stretch in which the Terps have only one game. They didn't look too rusty, taking an early 16-7 lead and thwarting William & Mary's best bid to make a game of it in the second quarter.
Maryland led 23-19 before going on a 21-2 run in the second that turned the game into a rout. Smikle scored seven points during that stretch.
Maryland had 26 offensive rebounds to William & Mary's eight, and the Terps had a 50-6 advantage in free-throws attempted.
Maryland returns to Big Ten play with a game on Dec. 29 against No. 15 Michigan State, which also is unbeaten. William & Mary doesn't play again until a home game against Hampton on Jan. 3.
