COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- As Maryland returned home, Kristen Confroy rediscovered her shooters touch.Confroy scored 17 points and made five 3-pointers, both season highs, as the No. 5 Terrapins cruised to a 92-42 victory over Maryland-Baltimore County on Sunday.Every shot Ive taken it feels like its going in, Confroy said. Early in the year it just wasnt. And thats kind of something you just have to deal with as a shooter sometimes. Keep getting shots up. Keep trusting the process.After tying for the team lead with 73 3-pointers last season, Confroy had hit just three in the first seven games of her junior year.One strong performance later, she nearly doubled this seasons percentage to 33.3 percent.She knows the percentages, the laws of numbers, Maryland coach Brenda Frese said. Its going to come her way.Brionna Jones added 11 points and Blair Watson had 10 as Maryland (8-0) got back to winning comfortably at home against mid-major foes.Maryland has won by an average of 53.8 points in four home games this year. By contrast, its previous two victories, on a neutral floor against Washington State and at No. 7 Louisville, came by a combined 16 points.Laura Castaldo scored 13 points for UMBC (2-5), which gave up its most points and scored its fewest in a fifth straight loss.With injured guards Carly Harris and Brittani Burgess out, the Retrievers trailed 42-17 at halftime.This wasnt the ideal situation for us with our starting backcourt being out, UMBC coach Phil Stern said. So it was a great experience for our freshmen, a great experience for our guys moving forward.Maryland built that lead by holding UMBC to 6 of 30 shooting (20 percent) from the floor before the break. On the other end, Confroy was 3 for 3 from beyond the arc.Confroy made it 4 for 4 just after the third quarter began, then after a rare miss from deep, made it 5 of 6 off Destiny Slocums kickout feed.That pushed the score to 52-19 with 7:21 left in the third. Frese could begin emptying her bench, three days after a trying 78-72 win at Louisville.I thought we were still pretty fatigued today, Frese said. But I thought we fought hard, didnt play the score and tried to get better.BIG PICTUREUMBC: The Retrievers dont play another Top 25 team this season -- and face just one more from a Power Five conference -- as they pursue a second consecutive postseason appearance. Thats still a realistic goal after returning all five starters from last seasons WBI Tournament squad and getting picked second in the America East preseason poll.Maryland: The Terps face similar opponents in their next two home games, then wont play again at Xfinity Center until No. 2 Connecticut visits on Dec. 29. A stretch of five games total against mid-major opponents should provide extended playing time for a six-member freshman class ranked among the best in the nation.MARYLAND MILESTONESShatori Walker-Kimbroughs nine points pushed her up one spot to ninth on Marylands all-time scoring list, with 1,628 for her career. . With eight boards, Jones surpassed the 900-rebound plateau. She remains eighth on Marylands all-time list with 907.CLOSE PROXIMITYWith a campus just 25 miles away, UMBC is the closest geographic opponent on the Terrapins schedule this season.UP NEXTUMBC: Hosts Morgan State on Wednesday in the first of two home games in four days.Maryland: Plays the second of three straight home games when Towson, another Baltimore-area school, visits on Tuesday.Nike Vapormax Herren Günstig Kaufen .C. -- Manny Malhotra had two goals and an assist, leading the Carolina Hurricanes to a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.

She asked for help from the professor, who took the woman into her office, and Hammad began continually knocking on the door, according to the arrest affidavit. The professor first tried to call Hammads coaches, but when no one in the athletic department was available, she placed a call to Baylor police.Baylor officials would not provide details on this particular professor but said that all faculty receive Title IX training and that when made aware of an incident, they are to first ensure the safety of the student and then report behavior violating the policy to the Title IX office.Hammad, a 21-year-old junior from Irving, Texas, is out on bond after he was arrested Monday and booked into McLennan County Jail on a third-degree felony stalking charge. He has been suspended from all team activities associated with Baylor football, pending resolution of this issue, Baylor officials announced Tuesday.The university offered no further comment, citing federal privacy laws. Federal law allows schools to disclose publicly whether a student has been found guilty in a school disciplinary proceeding of any crime of violence or sex offense.According to the affidavit, police made contact with Hammad on July 7 at the professors office, and investigators spoke to him again on July 11. On both occasions, he was ordered to stay away from the woman, but he was not arrested.At the time, Hammad admitted to police that he had been trying to find the woman by going to her apartment, checking local hotels and even driving through parking lots that she might frequent. Hammad told police that he just wanted to talk to the victim in an attempt to mend their troubled relationship.The woman told police that she had taken extensive measures to keep him from finding her, including driving a different vehicle and subleasing a home in Waco that she said he didnt know about.After the incident at the classroom, the woman reported that on three separate occasions -- July 12, July 13 and July 26 -- Hammad tried to contact her through mutual friends, and he once had a special meal from a restaurant he knew she liked sent to her home. After the last incident, the report states, she was no longer comfortable living in Waco and moved back to her hometown out-of-state.Hammads ex-girlfriend also detailed incidents that started several months ago. She said Hammad physically assaulted her twice: once on March 15 at his home, where he placed his hand on her throat and held her against a wall during an argument, and onnce on June 13, when the two were outside a Baylor practice facility on campus and he grabbed her by the arms and pushed her against a wall.dddddddddddd?Its unclear whether the woman reported Hammad to Baylor officials before the July 7 incident and if the university had started a Title IX investigation.The woman said she ended the relationship in May, but Hammad was a manipulative individual and was very persuasive in his attempts to mend the relationship. She said Hammad would place multiple calls and text messages to her phone, and when she blocked his number, his friends started calling her on his behalf. According to the affidavit, during Hammads pleas to the woman for forgiveness, he would talk of suicide, and the woman said she felt she needed to see or speak to him many times to keep him from harming himself. She said she tried to get help for him through Baylors counseling center, but he would not agree to see the counselors on a regular basis.Its unclear why Baylor police did not arrest Hammad until Monday, and Baylor police officials did not return calls for comment Tuesday. Hammad did not respond to messages left Tuesday.If Hammad is indicted, he would be the fourth Baylor football player charged with crimes against women in the past four years. He is now one of many named in police reports alleging domestic violence or harassment. Former defensive end Shawn Oakman was indicted on charges of second-degree felony sexual assault last month.Defensive ends Tevin Elliott and Sam Ukwuachu were convicted of sexual assault in 2014 and 2015, respectively.Baylor has been under fire for its handling of reports of sexual assault and violence involving football players for the past year. In late May, after the board of regents received a presentation from law firm Pepper Hamilton, whom it had hired to review the schools sexual assault response and Title IX practices, the regents announced the demotion of president Ken Starr to chancellor, the suspension with intent to terminate of football coach Art Briles and probation for athletic director Ian McCaw. Within weeks, McCaw resigned, Briles was fired, and Starr stepped down from all leadership positions at Baylor but stayed on as a law professor.Last month at Big 12 media days, acting head coach Jim Grobe told the press, We dont have a culture of bad behavior at Baylor University. The problems that were dealing with at Baylor and have dealt with at Baylor, to this point, are problems that are probably at every university in the country.After his comment sparked some outrage on social media, he later said that he was referring to the players on the roster, not the former players accused of sexual assault and other acts of violence.
