William & Mary 83, Maryland 77
College Park, Md. - The William and Mary men's basketball team's stellar start to the 2009-10 season added another impressive chapter on Wednesday night as the Tribe knocked off its second Atlantic Coast Conference opponent of the season, downing Maryland, 83-77, at the Comcast Center. Coupled with the Green and Gold's triumph at Wake Forest on Nov. 28, the College won two road games against ACC opponents in the same season for the first time in school history.
The Tribe led by nine points at the half and as many as 16 points in the second half to dispatch the Terrapins. W&M ran the second-longest winning streak in school history to nine games as it improved to 9-2 on the year, while Maryland fell to 8-4. W&M became only the seventh non-ACC team to win in the Comcast Center, which opened in 2002-03. The victory was the Tribe's first over Maryland since 1952 and the first at the Terrapins since 1950.
