Maryland cruises by Youngstown St.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — Greivis Vasquez matched his career high with 28 points, and Maryland used a strong defensive performance to cruise past Youngstown State 73-49 Tuesday night.

The Terrapins (2-0) allowed one basket in the final eight minutes before halftime, turning a one-point lead into a 37-18 cushion. Vasquez scored 12 points during that span.

Vasquez went 10-for-17 from the floor and 7-for-7 at the foul line. He also led Maryland with eight rebounds and four assists. The junior guard is 48 points short of 1,000 for his career.

It was the 399th career victory at Maryland for coach Gary Williams, compared to 215 losses in 20 seasons at his alma mater.

Jack Liles had 12 points and eight rebounds for Youngstown State (0-2), which was coming off a home loss to Buffalo. The Penguins are 0-3 against Atlantic Coast Conference teams, losing previously to Georgia Tech in 1992 and Clemson in 1989.

Youngstown State shot 33 percent from the field and committed 23 turnovers.

In its opener against Bucknell, Maryland started the game by missing its first eight shots. In this one, the Terrapins went 0-for-6 from the floor and botched two foul shots while falling behind 6-0.

But Maryland used a 10-2 run to take its first lead, then scored 14 straight points to go up 31-16. Vasquez had three baskets and four free throws in the latter surge.
