North Carolina had a pretty easy time with Maryland. It was the Heels' sixth straight over the Terps.

"For us, we hadn't played in eight days, and I thought we were a little sluggish at times, especially to start the game and also to start the second half," UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell said. "We didn't have the intensity we needed, but we stepped it up when we had to. What I like is that we had five players in double figures."

Maryland coach Frese thinks they should have done better. "We're disappointed, this one hurts because we know we're a better team than we were tonight but I definitely expect us to bounce back from this."
