With 5:36 remaining in the fourth quarter of Maryland basketball’s season opener Tuesday, freshman point guard Ashley Owusu gathered an offensive rebound and laid it in off the glass, marking the first time Maryland had scored 100 points in a game in almost two years.
The No. 4 Terps dominated from tip to finish, thumping Wagner 119-56 to start the 2019-20 season 1-0. The 119 points for Maryland are the most scored under head coach Brenda Frese and the program’s highest total since 1992.
Seven of the eight Terps that took the floor on Tuesday finished in double figures, with senior guard Kaila Charles, sophomore forward Shakira Austin and Owusu combining to lead the way with 18 points a piece.
