COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — Lynetta Kizer scored a season-high 21 points, Tianna Hawkins added 17 points and 12 rebounds, and No. 22 Maryland won its seventh straight game, 79-61 over Loyola of Maryland on Tuesday night.
The Terrapins (8-1) took control by ending the first half on a 32-7 run and won despite the absence of second-leading scorer Alyssa Thomas, who sat out with a knee laceration.
Erica DiClemente led the Greyhounds (2-6) with a career-high 22 points. Miriam McKenzie added 12 points and Alyssa Sutherland had 10.
Maryland is 17-3 all-time against the Greyhounds and has beaten their in-state rivals 11 straight times.
Loyola, which had a two-game win streak snapped, shot 19 for 57 (33 percent) and hit only 8 of 29 3-point attempts.
