COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Maryland coach Brenda Frese wondered if her players were fully awake for their late morning tip-off against in-state foe Mount St. Marys.They had turnovers, breakdowns on defense and uncharacteristically missed open shots. However, it didnt take long for the No. 6 Terrapins to fix the problem. Brionna Jones finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds to help No. 6 Maryland rout the Mountaineers 106-42 on Friday.Ieshia Small had 14 points off the bench for Maryland (3-0). Shatori Walker-Kimbrough, Kaila Charles and Jenna Staiti added 10 points apiece for the Terrapins, who shot 58 percent from the field.I thought we had a really slow, sluggish start, Frese said. Our shots werent falling and we werent as crisp as we usually are. The second half was a much better indicator of how we want to play for 40 minutes.The Mountaineers (1-2) trailed only 18-13 at the end of the first quarter. But the Terrapins used their size to take control. The 6-foot-3 Jones scored 12 points to boost the lead to 34-18 with 3:37 left in the second quarter.We have a lot of weapons on our team, Jones said. Anybody can come off the bench and score. Were just going to keep playing our brand of basketball.The Mountaineers tried to stay in the game by hoisting three-pointers, but they went 3 of 21 and trailed 37-20 at the break. They finished 7 of 32 from behind the arc.A pair of free throws and layup by freshman Destiny Slocum boosted the margin to 57-25 midway through the third quarter, and the only uncertainty was whether Maryland would score 100 or more points for the third straight game.A 3-pointer by Sarah Myers gave Maryland a 100-39 lead late in the fourth quarter.Katrice Dickson led Mount St. Marys with 12 points.I thought we played really well in the first quarter, Mountaineers coach Bryan Whitten. We became very undisciplined on the offensive side in the second quarter. You give up 37 points in the first half, you think youre in a good spot.BIG PICTUREMount St. Marys: The Mountaineers started four guards to play uptempo and put their best shooters in the floor. The strategy worked early before the Terrapins did a better job protecting the ball and wearing them down.Maryland: Frese is pleased with the quick start of her team, which has averaged 104 points in three games against much weaker programs. Her deep roster will help create matchup problems for most opponents this season.FAB FRESHMANMaryland freshmen Destiny Slocum and Kaila Charles were in the starting lineup for the third consecutive game. Both played well enough to maintain those spots.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Second baseman Ian Kinsler was back at the top of the Texas Rangers lineup Saturday, returning from his rehabilitation assignment at least a day earlier than expected. Kinsler, who had been out since May 18 with a ribcage injury, was activated from the disabled list after playing only two games for Double-A Frisco. He was 0 for 8 with a walk in the two games. "Im healthy, Im ready to play," Kinsler said before leading off and playing second base against Toronto. "Theres no point to play nine more innings in Double-A when I can play nine innings here." The Rangers were 11-14 without Kinsler. Before Saturday, they had a season-long four-game losing streak. All of those losses were at home, with only five combined runs and an 8-0 loss Friday night. When Kinsler was sent out to Frisco, the Rangers said hed be the designated hitter one game and then play at least two games in the field. The plan changed based on how Kinsler felt, and the teams need for a boost. "First and foremost, he feels good physically," general manager Jon Daniels said. "Our medical staff is confident hes as healthy as hes going to be. He could use more at-bats there, but he sees were scuffling here and wanted to go back." Kinsler never wanted to go on a rehab assignment in the first place, and after Friscos 11-inning game Friday nights game told the Rangers he was ready to be back with the team. The Rangers optioned infielder Leury Garcia to Triple-A Round Rock. With Kinsler back in the lineup along with shortstop Elvis Andrus, that will mean less playing time for 20-year-old rookie Jurickson Profar, who had hits inn four of the last five games and is hitting .dddddddddddd278. Manager Ron Washington said Profar had earned a lot of credibility in the clubhouse with his play and "hes one of our best 25" players. But Washington said he had no set number of how much Profar will get to play. Washington said Profar will be get time playing shortstop, second base and even third base. There is also the possibility of him playing outfield, and he will begin working with coach Gary Pettis in the field. "Im not going to say how many at-bats he gets," Daniels said. "But we wouldnt have kept him if he wasnt going to play. Were trying to win games." When Profar was asked if it was going to be hard to not play every day, he smiled and said, "I dont know, well see." He hasnt played outfield professionally. Kinsler, a three-time All-Star, hit .302 with seven home runs and 20 RBIs in his 40 games before going on the disabled list. He initially got hurt running bases when he got hit in the right side by a ball while sliding into base. After doing on the DL, he has delayed in his rehab by what the team called a stress reaction in the same area of his ribs. Neither Kinsler or Washington were worried that he didnt have any hits in his shortened rehab assignment. "Hes ready to go. Well let him figure it out here. We still believe he will give us good at-bats," Washington said. Kinsler said the only thing that matters is that hes healthy and ready to play. "Its frustrating anytime youre out, whether the team is playing good or playing bad," Kinsler said. "Its always tough to sit and watch." ' ' '
