CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — Alyssa Thomas scored 21 points and No. 13 Maryland avoided an 0-3 start in the Atlantic Coast Conference with a 80-59 victory over Clemson on Sunday.
Thomas had 15 of her points in the opening half as the Terrapins (14-3, 1-2 ACC) took their 10th straight game over Clemson (8-11, 1-3).
Thomas scored five points during a 15-5 run to close the first period to wipe out the Lady Tigers 29-23 lead. Maryland continued the charge after the break, Lynette Kizer scoring 7 points in a 17-8 run that put the Terps up 55-42.
Thomas, a 6-foot-2 freshman, finished a point away from her career best and was a rebound shy of her third consecutive double-double.
