ng the second A-League club to be embarrassed within 24 hourrs,

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- As Maryland returned home, Kristen Confroy rediscovered her shooters touch.Confroy scored 17 points and made five 3-pointers, both season highs, as the No. 5 Terrapins cruised to a 92-42 victory over Maryland-Baltimore County on Sunday.Every shot Ive taken it feels like its going in, Confroy said. Early in the year it just wasnt. And thats kind of something you just have to deal with as a shooter sometimes. Keep getting shots up. Keep trusting the process.After tying for the team lead with 73 3-pointers last season, Confroy had hit just three in the first seven games of her junior year.One strong performance later, she nearly doubled this seasons percentage to 33.3 percent.She knows the percentages, the laws of numbers, Maryland coach Brenda Frese said. Its going to come her way.Brionna Jones added 11 points and Blair Watson had 10 as Maryland (8-0) got back to winning comfortably at home against mid-major foes.Maryland has won by an average of 53.8 points in four home games this year. By contrast, its previous two victories, on a neutral floor against Washington State and at No. 7 Louisville, came by a combined 16 points.Laura Castaldo scored 13 points for UMBC (2-5), which gave up its most points and scored its fewest in a fifth straight loss.With injured guards Carly Harris and Brittani Burgess out, the Retrievers trailed 42-17 at halftime.This wasnt the ideal situation for us with our starting backcourt being out, UMBC coach Phil Stern said. So it was a great experience for our freshmen, a great experience for our guys moving forward.Maryland built that lead by holding UMBC to 6 of 30 shooting (20 percent) from the floor before the break. On the other end, Confroy was 3 for 3 from beyond the arc.Confroy made it 4 for 4 just after the third quarter began, then after a rare miss from deep, made it 5 of 6 off Destiny Slocums kickout feed.That pushed the score to 52-19 with 7:21 left in the third. Frese could begin emptying her bench, three days after a trying 78-72 win at Louisville.I thought we were still pretty fatigued today, Frese said. But I thought we fought hard, didnt play the score and tried to get better.BIG PICTUREUMBC: The Retrievers dont play another Top 25 team this season -- and face just one more from a Power Five conference -- as they pursue a second consecutive postseason appearance. Thats still a realistic goal after returning all five starters from last seasons WBI Tournament squad and getting picked second in the America East preseason poll.Maryland: The Terps face similar opponents in their next two home games, then wont play again at Xfinity Center until No. 2 Connecticut visits on Dec. 29. A stretch of five games total against mid-major opponents should provide extended playing time for a six-member freshman class ranked among the best in the nation.MARYLAND MILESTONESShatori Walker-Kimbroughs nine points pushed her up one spot to ninth on Marylands all-time scoring list, with 1,628 for her career. . With eight boards, Jones surpassed the 900-rebound plateau. She remains eighth on Marylands all-time list with 907.CLOSE PROXIMITYWith a campus just 25 miles away, UMBC is the closest geographic opponent on the Terrapins schedule this season.UP NEXTUMBC: Hosts Morgan State on Wednesday in the first of two home games in four days.Maryland: Plays the second of three straight home games when Towson, another Baltimore-area school, visits on Tuesday.

Just three months after being crowned A-League champions, Adelaide United have crashed to one of the biggest upsets in Australian club football history, with a 2-1 FFA Cup defeat against semi-professional club Redlands United.The last time Adelaide took the field was in front of 50,000 spectators in last seasons grand final at Adelaide Oval, but they struggled for fluency on a cold and bumpy Perry Park pitch in Brisbane on Wednesday night.It was a low-key performance from a new-look Adelaide side, who nevertheless dominated possession for lengthy periods, and seemed in total control thanks to Ryan Kittos goal on the hour mark.However, Redlands drew level with the last kick of regular time as Uniteds Socceroo goalkeeper Eugene Galekovic made a disastrous attempt to claim a through ball and Michael Lee pushed home into an empty net.Joy for the home fans turned to disbelief as Paul OBrian stabbed home the winner eight minutes into extra time.Still Adelaide struggled to find any real cohesion in attack and they could do little to avoid being the second A-League club to be embarrassed within 24 hourrs, following on from Central Coast Mariners loss against Green Gully.ddddddddddddFFA Cup champions Melbourne Victory kept alive their hopes of defending their title, though their 3-1 win over fellow A-League side Newcastle Jets was tempered by an injury to star striker Besart Berisha.The prolific Albanian striker scored after just five minutes with a diving header, but soon limped off with what appeared to be a leg muscle problem.Newcastle drew level just after the break with a sublime chipped effort from debutant Wayne Brown.The Victory were pushed hard in miserable conditions in Newcastle, before they went ahead with a dubious second-half penalty that was converted by Oliver Bozanic, while substitute George Howard extended the lead late on.Second-half goals saw Bonnyrigg White Eagles collect a 3-0 win over fellow Sydney side Manly United.The final match of the night saw Canberra Olympic triumph 1-0 in the nations capital over the visiting Surfers Paradise Apollo.
