Terps bounce Lehigh
The Mountain Hawks managed to hang around through the first five minutes of the second half, then Maryland switched into a gear Lehigh was unable to match, pulling away for a 72-51 win.

Lehigh trailed by as many as 10 in the first half, but was down just 5 when freshman Rob Keefer (12 points) hit a three at the 15:36 mark of the second half to cut the Terrapins margin to 43-38.

But the Lehigh side of the scoreboard stayed stuck on 38 for the next 7:24 while Maryland was on a 15-0 run. The Hawks never got closer than 17 the rest of the way.

Junior Matt Szalachowski shared Lehigh's team scoring honors with Keefer. Szalachowski's dozen points all came in the first half, when he hit 5 of 6 from the field, including a pair of threes.

Lehigh's Marquis hall was just 2 for 16 from the field, 1 of 5 from the arc and the 5-11 sophomore, who led Lehigh in scoring its first three games, never got to the foul line.

The Mountain Hawks hit just 39.3 percent from the field in the first half, but managed to hang around by hitting 5 of 9 from the arc. In the second half, Maryland took that away, leaving Lehigh to go 2 for 10 from three-point range, 7 of 27 overall, finishing the game 18 for 55 (32.7 percent) from the field.

Maryland was 28 for 55 (50.9 percent) from the field, including 5 for 14 on three-pointers.
