Albuquerque, N.M. ? Of the 14 baskets Crystal Langhorne made in another All-America performance, none was bigger than the one that ended the first half.

Langhorne matched a career-high with 34 points and added 15 rebounds, leading No. 2 seeded Maryland to a 82-63 victory over the third-seeded Lady Bears on Saturday night to eliminate Sophia Young and the defending national champions from the NCAA Tournament.

Langhorne made the play of the night at the halftime horn, getting a layup that put the Terps ahead, 35-28. The Terps inbounded from halfcourt with 0.6 seconds on the clock, throwing all the way to Langhorne underneath.

“Sure, it took some momentum away,” Baylor coach Kim Mulkey-Robertson said. “That kind of deflates your bubble a little bit.”

In a matchup of two of the country’s best post players, Langhorne, a 6-foot-2 sophomore, outplayed Young from the opening tip. With their star at less than her best, the Bears (26-7) couldn’t survive one of their worst shooting nights of the season. Baylor made just 33 percent (25-of-74).

Young scored 26 on 11-of-25 shooting but the Big 12’s career scoring and rebounding leader – and the Most Valuable Player from last year’s Final Four – got off to a horrible 1-for-7 start in her final college game.
