COLUMBUS – Carly Santoro notched her third 20-point game of the season but No. 11 Maryland pulled away for a 70-57 victory over the Buckeyes at Value City Arena Thursday night.
Santoro (No. 10 above) knocked-down three three-pointers and was 10-of-18 from the floor on her way to the 10th 20-point game of her career. She also grabbed a team-high six rebounds and had two steals.
Ohio State (7-10, 3-5) made just 2-of-12 shots in the fourth quarter, while the Terrapins (17-2, 6-2) scored the first seven points of the quarter to cap a game-breaking 13-0 run.
The Buckeyes were without leading scorer and rebounder Dorka Juhász as she missed the game with an ankle sprain which she suffered in the game at Michigan on Sunday.
Stephanie Jones scored 20 points for Maryland.
Ohio State hits the road for a game at Minnesota on Monday.
