    COLLEGE PARK, Md. http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Angel-Correa-Jersey/ ;. -- Marylands Brionna Jones got into a rhythm early and never slowed down against overmatched St. Peters.Jones scored 19 of her career-high 30 points in the first half and the No. 4 Terrapins remained unbeaten with a 101-49 victory over the Peacocks on Thursday night.I was just taking what was given to me, Jones said. My teammates were finding me when I was open. I was just working hard on every possession. I was definitely surprised that there wasnt a double-team coming.The Terrapins (10-0) are playing a stretch of five games over 12 days. However, coach Brenda Frese has kept the team fresh because of her deep bench. In the process, Frese has gotten contributions from her entire roster.Shatori Walker-Kimbrough added 16 points, Brianna Fraser had 13, and the Terrapins had a season-low six turnovers.I thought we started slow defensively and we looked sluggish from the games and practices weve had, Frese said. Obviously, we played through (Jones). I dont think they had an answer for her. I thought our bench-depth played with a lot of energy.Brianna Tarabocchia led St. Peters (1-7) with 11 points.St. Peters lost its first six games by an average of 29 points. However, the Peacocks stayed close early and a pair of free throws by Talah Hughes tied it at 13 in the final minute of the opening quarter.St. Peters tried to maintain possession until there were just a few seconds left on the shot clock to keep the ball away from Maryland. The strategy worked for a spell before the Terrapins wore them down.I think Maryland is very deceptive from watching them on film and then seeing them live, St. Peters coach Pat Coyle said. Theyre much quicker and more physical. What I like about their team is they dont do anything complicated. They just get the ball to their scorers.A 3-pointer by Walker-Kimbrough capped a 19-3 run and the Terrapins led 32-16 with 6:02 left in the half. Maryland continued to pull away and the lead ballooned to 51-25 at the break.The Terrapins shot 61 percent from the field and their backups outscored the Peacocks reserves 13-2.Marylands starters returned for the second half and consecutive baskets by Jones increased the margin to 62-29. Jones was 14 of 16 from the field in just 20 minutes and made the game easier for her team.As guards, we dont have to force anything up, Marylands Ieshia Small said. We know we can always look inside for her and depend on her to finish the play all of the time.Frese then went back to the bench to close out the game. Kiah Gillespie also had 10 points for Maryland.It was just the second meeting between the schools. St. Peters beat Maryland 66-61 in the first matchup on Dec. 30, 1997.INCREASED PRESSUREMaryland forced 28 turnovers with his its high-pressure defense. That led to 46 points.BIG PICTURESt. Peters: The Peacocks snapped a 21-game losing streak dating back to last year with a win over Marist on Sunday. Still, St. Peters is 1-1 in the MAAC and is getting battle-tested with its tough schedule.Maryland: The Terrapins have won six of their 10 games by at least 40 points. Maryland is deep and talented, showing signs of a Final Four-caliber team. The biggest test arrives Dec. 29 with a home game against No. 1 Connecticut.UP NEXTSt. Peters: The Peacocks are at St. Francis Brooklyn on Sunday.Maryland: The Terrapins make a 38-mile trip to Baltimore to face Loyola on Monday. Custom Atletico Madrid Jerseys . Jim Rutherford, President and General Manager of the Carolina Hurricanes, announced Wednesday that the team would assign Swedish forward Elias Lindholm to his nations team for the upcoming tournament. http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Lucas-Hernandez-Jersey/ .com) - Richie Incognito has reportedly been admitted to a psychiatric care unit in Arizona. http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Thomas-Lemar-Jersey/ ;. Tests earlier this week revealed a Grade 2 left hamstring strain for Sabathia, who was hurt in last Fridays start against San Francisco. Its an injury that will require about eight weeks to heal. He finished a disappointing campaign just 14-13 with a career-worst 4. The announcement this week that Love the Chase, dam of California Chrome, will be bred next year to American Pharoahs sire Pioneerof the Nile set the imagination alight. North Americas richest racehorse would now be step-brother to racings most recent Triple Crown winner. Or something like that.Breeding news abounds at this time of year. High-priced racemares have been changing hands like hot stocks. Broodmares in foal are counting the days. Young stallions are sniffing the air, getting in the mood for their first rites of spring.And then there is California Chrome.Any other year, California Chrome would be winding down from four seasons of competition to be dealing with his first Kentucky winter, in his case at Taylor Made Farm in Nicholasville.But no, the 5-year-old chestnut with the road-stripe blaze is still hard at work at Los Alamitos, exercising each morning under the lights, giving Dihigi Gladney all he can handle in the irons as the father-son training team of Art and Alan Sherman looks on, calculating each stride as a step toward the $12 million Pegasus World Cup on Jan. 28.To that end, California Chrome will be turned loose Saturday afternoon for a practice session in full pads around the Los Alamitos oval he knows so well. Management has cobbled together a $100,000 stakes race and named it the Winter Challenge, even though it looks more like the Globetrotters vs. the Washington Generals.Normally, it would be all hands on deck with the California Chrome syndicate whenever its hero/ATM goes postward. The bitter taste of his noble loss to Arrogate in the Breeders Cup Classic still lingers, and the Winter Challenge figures to be a good way to at least partially cleanse the palate. Unfortunately, certain Christmas plans were set in stone long before the Sherman brain trust and Dr. Ed Allred of Los Alamitos put the race in play, so it will be Chrome and several thousand of his closest friends and fans gathered in Orange County on Saturday for carols and hot toddies.Mike and Linda Stinson are sick at heart over missing the race in person. Since becoming part of the California Chrome ownership group a year ago, they have been loyal camp followers, traveling far and wide from their Fort Worth, Texas, home to fly the flag.Our annual family Christmas function is on Saturday, Linda Stinson said this week. Its about to kill us to miss the race. But the party will stop to gather around the television to watch the race, count on that.The Stinsons have been married going on 44 years and racing fans together for just as long. Mike Stinsons career in banking and financial services has allowed them to own racehoorses of all creeds and colors, and one of them is Peppers Pride, the most famous Thoroughbred ever produced in the state of New Mexico. http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Antoine-Griezmann-Jersey/. She won all 19 of her races, the climax coming on Dec. 14, 2008, at Sunland Park. Upon her retirement, the Stinsons bought into her broodmare career with owner-breeder Joe Allen.Peppers Pride took up residence at Taylor Made, which is why it made perfect sense that Mike Stinson was on the shortlist of potential partners when the farm bought an interest in California Chrome. He confessed to being a Chromie from the start.First of all, I always thought there was more to this horses pedigree than people were willing to acknowledge up front, Stinson said. But before I even got to the pedigree, his 2-year-old races showed me a tactical high cruising speed, almost push-button style. And I just love that in a horse. When youve got speed, youve got options.When he turned 3, it just looked like as you stretched him out, that speed would be even more effective, Stinson added. I remember telling Frank Taylor before California Chrome ran in the Belmont, If there was any opportunity to do anything with the horse, count us in.Partnering with owner and co-breeder Perry Martin, the Taylors of Taylor Made formed a syndicate of investors who would be able to bring quality mares to the court of California Chrome. Certainly, the Stinsons qualified on that count with Peppers Pride, whose second foal, by Distorted Humor, named Punctuate, impressively won a Del Mar maiden race for Arnold and Ellen Zetcher.As a bonus, the new partners got a racing season to remember, with victories in the Dubai World Cup and Pacific Classic, three other major stakes, and that dramatic second in the Breeders Cup.It was assumed that Peppers Pride would be among the first group of mares bred to California Chrome next year -- once he has dealt with the Pegasus World Cup -- but recent events have put that decision on hold.She lost her foal about three weeks ago, Stinson said. It was a twisted umbilical chord, one of those odd things that happens. Fortunately, she will be healthy enough to breed next year.The foal was by American Pharoah.Whether she goes to him or Chrome, we dont know yet, Stinson said. Were guaranteed in the deal to go back to American Pharoah, so wed have to work that out.In the meantime, there is still work to be done on the racetrack.Its bittersweet, these last two races for Chrome, Linda Stinson said. But we could never have imagined the year hes given us. Cheap NFL Black Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Outlet Cheap NFL Black Jerseys Black China NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys 2020 Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Black NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Throwback Wholesale Black NFL Jerseys NFL Jerseys Wholesale Cheap NFL Black Jerseys Stitched Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping ' ' '
