COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Diamond Miller scored 21 points, and No. 10 Maryland closed the first quarter with a 13-2 run and led the rest of the way in a 72-64 victory over No. 13 Michigan.
Abby Meyers contributed 12 points and 11 rebounds for the Terrapins (17-4, 8-2), who won for the 10th time in 11 games. Lavender Briggs scored 14 points and Shyanne Sellers added 13.
Maryland gained a measure of revenge after losing twice to Michigan last season - including a 20-point rout in College Park.
Leigha Brown led the Wolverines with 16 points.
Michigan (16-5, 6-4) led 13-9 in the first quarter before a three-point play by Miller started Maryland's big run. Briggs and Faith Masonius made 3-pointers during that stretch.
The Terps pushed the lead to 16 in the third quarter before the Wolverines were able to chip away. Miller sat for a bit with four fouls, and Michigan cut the lead to seven in the fourth quarter, but the Wolverines still wasted too many possessions with turnovers to mount much of a comeback.
Michigan ended up with 24 turnovers, and Maryland had a 25-5 advantage in points off turnovers.
Miller fouled out with 2:19 remaining, but even after those two free throws, the Terps led 65-57 and had little trouble holding on.
Michigan lost for the second time in four days against a top-10 opponent. No. 6 Indiana beat the Wolverines 92-83 on Monday.
BIG PICTURE
Michigan: Whether it was against Maryland's press or in their half-court offense, the Wolverines turned the ball over too much to score consistently. This was a lower-scoring game than the loss to Indiana, but the margin ended up being similar.
Maryland: While Miller clearly led the way, the Terps had plenty of offensive contributors. They also held Michigan to 13 points below its season average entering the game.
