Angel Reese sparkles in debut as Maryland women open with a victory

St. Frances graduate Angel Reese, The Baltimore Sun’s Girls Basketball Player of the Year last season, turned in a sensational college debut for Maryland on Friday afternoon.

Reese and Diamond Miller each scored 20 points, five Maryland players reached double figures and the No. 16 Terps broke away from Davidson after halftime for a 94-72 season-opening win at the Gulf Coast Challenge.

Davidson was within 40-37 at halftime but Reese scored five straight points just over a minute into the third quarter as Maryland forced three consecutive Davidson turnovers, including back-to-back steals by Reese and Miller.

Miller’s 20 was career high.
