In its opening game of the Puerto Rico Clasico, Maryland women’s basketball staved off Morgan State en route to a 68-44 victory.
The No. 7 Terps struggled on offense early on and took just a six-point lead into halftime. But they pulled away in the third quarter and extended the lead down the stretch, making the final score more lopsided than the game.
Kaila Charles led the way for No. 7 Maryland with 18 points, evenly distributing her scoring throughout the game to lend the Terps consistency on offense. She was relied upon to end a scoring drought numerous times, and the junior shot 7-of-12 from the floor.
