Epiphanny Prince erupted to key a second-half comeback that vaulted No. 4 Rutgers past No. 3 Maryland, 68-60, tonight in the Jimmy V Classic at the RAC.
Prince flashed the skills that make her one of the most lethal guards in the country, draining 3-pointers and finding open teammates during a 15-4 Rutgers run that helped the Scarlet Knights (5-1) erase a 10-point second-half deficit and extend their winning streak to five games.
Maryland (10-1) suffered its first loss of the season thanks to Rutgers\’ stingy second-half defense that forced 20 turnovers and held the Terrapins to five field goals.
Prince scored 15 of her game-high 22 points after halftime and added 10 assists. Matee Ajavon added 15 points for the Scarlet Knights, who shot 43 percent (26 of 60) from the field.
