Unranked Massachusetts Stuns No. 10 Maryland

WORCESTER, Mass. - Charlton Clarke scored 15 of his 22 points in the first half when Massachusetts built a 13-point lead en route to a 78-61 victory over 10th-ranked Maryland in a non-conference game.

The win was the fifth in a row and 11th in 14 games for Massachusetts (16-10), which continues its strong push for an NCAA Tournament bid.

Sophomore center Lari Ketner had a career-high 19 points and 11 rebounds and Carmelo Travieso added 16 points for the Minutemen.

Maryland (19-6) has lost four of its last six games. Laron Profit led the Terrapins with 21 points.

Massachusetts is 7-0 all-time in games at The Centrum, including two wins in the 1992 NCAA Tournament. Massachusetts earned its first win in four games against ACC opponents, losing its first three games against Virginia, Wake Forest and North Carolina.

The Terps are 1-1 against the Atlantic 10 this season, knocking off George Washington, 74-68, on December 9th. The Minutemen lead the all-time series, 4-2, and posted a 50-47 victory over Maryland in the First Bank Classic last year.
