SAN ANTONIO – The Maryland Terrapins are ruthless and relentless on offense and rolling once again into the Sweet 16 of the NCAA women’s basketball tournament.

Angel Reese racked up 19 points, leading a wave of scoring off the bench as No. 2 seed Maryland and its offensive juggernaut overwhelmed seventh-seeded Alabama 100-64 on Wednesday to reach the semifinals of the Hemisfair Region.

“It showed the balance of our team and the depth that we have,” Terrapins coach Brenda Frese said.

And just how scary this bunch may look to the remaining tournament field.

The Terrapins (27-2) entered the 64-team bracket with the nation’s highest-scoring offense and have yet to take their foot off the gas. The Terps have averaged 99 points in their two wins after scoring 91.3 per game in the regular season.
