COLLEGE PARK — Maryland junior guard Kristen Confroy is considered one of the top sharpshooters on her women's basketball team, but she had been mired in an uncharacteristic slump through the first seven games of the season. She had shot just 3-for-17 from 3-point range over that stretch, including a 1-for-5 performance in the Terps' win at No. 7 Louisville on Thursday night.

There was little to suggest that she would find her stroke against UMBC on Sunday afternoon, especially since fifth-ranked Maryland was coming off four consecutive games on the road.

But Confroy, like her team, refused complacency in a 92-42 win against an overwhelmed local opponent. Confroy hit her first five 3-pointers and finished with a game-high 17 points and four assists in a balanced showing by Maryland, which had seven players score nine points or more.

“Being a shooter, you just have to keep trusting the process. Every shot that I've taken, it feels like it's going in, and early in the year, it wasn't,” said Confroy, who hit 73 3-pointers as a sophomore.

Maryland had to fight fatigue after a stretch that included wins over No. 23 Arizona State and Washington State at the South Point Shootout in Las Vegas late last month, followed by the 78-72 win over Louisville in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge on Thursday. By practice Saturday, coach Brenda Frese already had scripted an intensive session, guarding against any potential letdown against the Retrievers (2-5).

“We just came out in our practice yesterday just really hungry,” Frese said.

Frese reminded her team again about it Sunday, and the Terps turned in one of their most mature performances of the year. Maryland also got 11 points and nine rebounds from center Brionna Jones (Aberdeen), while guards Destiny Slocum, Ieshia Small, Jenna Staiti and Shatori Walker-Kimbrough each chipped in nine.
