COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Moments after raising the banner for their second consecutive Big Ten championship, the No. 6 Maryland Terrapins flexed their muscles as the favorites for another title.Freshman Destiny Slocum scored 15 points, Shatori Walker-Kimbrough had 14 points and Maryland breezed by UMass-Lowell 100-44 in its opener Sunday.The Terrapins entered the season with the nations top recruiting class, a group that shined in its debut. Freshman Kaila Charles started alongside Slocum and finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds in 21 minutes.We talked about in pregame what kind of work had to go into unveiling that banner, Maryland coach Brenda Frese said. I know in our locker room we have even bigger goals of how we want to finish this season.Brianna Fraser had 14 points and Ieshia Small scored 12 for Maryland, which outrebounded UMass-Lowell 52-30. The Terrapins scored 48 points off 34 UMass-Lowell turnovers.Maryland, which finished 31-4 last season, was in sync from the opening tip and started the game on a 17-3 run. Walker-Kimbrough led the way with six points over that stretch.We wanted to come out and set the tone early, Walker-Kimbrough said. One of goals today was just to play Maryland basketball: defend, rebound and run. I thought we did a good job early speeding them up, but we have to make sure we sustain that for 40 minutes.The Terrapins remained dominant at both ends of the court and continued to pull away from the outmatched River Hawks. The Terps had 11 steals over an 11-minute span in the first half.Maryland was 23 of 38 (60.5 percent) from the field and led 57-16 at the break. The Terrapins were just as dominant in the second half, and a jumper by Small increased the margin to 89-32 with 7:45 left in the game.Its a good test, River Hawks coach Jenerrie Harris said about playing Maryland. Its nice to be able to go against one of the best teams in the country. Maybe where we cant make each other pay in practice, that can make us pay in a situation like this so that we can make the improvement for later in the season.Nicole Hayner led UMass-Lowell (0-2) with 17 points.BIG PICTUREUMass-Lowell: The River Hawks are looking to improve from last season, when they went 4-24 overall and 1-15 in the America East. UMass-Lowell is expected to get a boost from freshmen Megan Hendrick and Tyshay Britten, both of whom are pushing for spots in the starting lineup.Maryland: The Terrapins are poised for another big season, with one of the best front courts in the nation and a deep bench. Maryland is expected to contend for a second national championship under Frese.DEEP BENCHMaryland has talent up and down its roster and got points from 12 players in the opener. The Terrapins bench outscored UMass-Lowell 50-15. No player on Maryland played more than 25 minutes. We have a lot more speed this year and depth, Frese said. We definitely want to be able to change up and give a lot of different looks on the defensive end.BETTER PROTECTIONAfter committing 34 turnovers in the first half, UMass-Lowell did a much better job protecting the ball after the break. The River Hawks turned the ball over just four times in the third quarter.UP NEXTUMass-Lowell: The River Hawks open at home against Fairfield on Thursday.Maryland: The Terrapins play their second of three consecutive home games against Maryland-Eastern Shore on Wednesday.

A return to winning form at Flemington may have earned Hijack Hussy a trip to the Gold Coast for the Magic Millions meeting.Formerly prepared in Queensland by Tony Gollan, Hijack Hussy was sent south by senior part-owner Joe ONeill earlier in the year and landed her first win for Darren Weir on Saturday, taking out the Beachside Handicap (1400m).Ridden by apprentice Beau Mertens, Hijack Hussy ($10) scored a short-head victory over La Speciale ($6) with Lady Selkirk ($6.50) three-quarters-of-a-length away third.Hijack Hussy is likely to now target the Magic Millions Fillies & Mares (1300m) on January 14.It was D-day today, Weir said.Shes a Magic Millions horse and Joes very keen to run his horses up there and Id say well probably head towards that.If she didnnt do what she did today Id say she would have been retired.ddddddddddddHijack Hussy ran third in the Magic Millions Guineas in 2015 but missed the carnival earlier this year.Saturdays outing was her fourth start this campaign and Weir was scratching his head searching for answers in a bid to turn her form around.The mare was in a better frame of mind before the race which Weir said may have accounted for it.The strapper mentioned today she had an unbelievable change in attitude, Weir said.Shes usually very piggy, wanting to kick and bite everyone and then drag you around the yard, but she did none of that.Maybe thats a good sign.
