Maryland women’s basketball would barely struggle with Division II Fairmont State in Friday night’s exhibition tilt, but the nation’s highest-scoring offense from a season ago had to put on a show in front of its fans.
Graduate student guard Katie Benzan launched a three from the right wing just over two minutes in to break the ice. Splash. About one minute later, she let one go from the left wing. Another one. Benzan — who led the NCAA in three-point percentage last year — shot the Terps to a fast start.
Maryland was soon up 14-0, holding the Fighting Falcons without a bucket for the first seven minutes and change.
