SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Kaylene Smikle scored 22 points, Allie Kubek added 16, and No. 11 Maryland rallied from a 10-point deficit early in the second quarter to turn back Syracuse, 84-73, on Wednesday night.
The victory was the Terrapins’ second over an ACC program this season and comes on the heels of Sunday’s 85-80 upset win over No. 11 Duke in College Park. The 4-0 start is Maryland’s best since the 2021-22 season, when the Terps started 6-0 and advance to the NCAA tournament’s Sweet 16. The Terps, who scored at least 80 points for the second time this season, improved to 95-7 when scoring at least 80 points over the past six seasons.
