BOX SCORE
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) -- Penn State coach Rene Portland wants to see balance this season. It wasn't a problem against Maryland. Andrea Garner had 16 points and 13 rebounds. Five players on Penn State (No. 8 ESPN/USA Today, No. 9 AP) scored in double figures as the Nittany Lions defeated Maryland 91-60 Tuesday night. Maren Walseth scored 15 points for Penn State (2-0) while Lisa Shepherd (14), Katrena Carr (13) and Rashana Barnes (10) also finished in double figures. Point guard Helen Darling added nine points, nine assists and 10 rebounds. "I do think that balance is the word," Portland said. "Balance is going to be important for us." "That's what makes them so special," Maryland Coach Chris Weller said. "They really are a special team." Garner, a 6-foot-3 senior center, dominated inside and also blocked four shots Penn State also shot 52 percent from the field while holding Maryland to just 38 percent shooting. The Nittany Lions used a 21-4 run late in the first half to take a 48-21 lead, and the Terrapins never threatened again. "There's a top-10 team for you," Weller said. "They were excellent, that's all I can say." | ALSO SEE Womens College Basketball Scoreboard
