Walker-Kimbrough hits milestone as Terps dominate

- By David Ginsburg

COLLEGE PARK — Shatori Walker-Kimbrough cut to the basket from the right side, caught a pass from Brene Moseley and made an easy layup between two defenders.

What appeared to be simply another collaborat­ion between two standout players was actually a milestone moment in Maryland women’s basketball history.

Walker-Kimbrough became the 30th Terp to reach 1,000 points, scoring 20 points to lead Maryland past Southern (2-5) on Friday night. Brionna Jones (Aberdeen) had 16 points and 10 rebounds for the Terps (10-0), and Moseley added 10 points and 10 assists.

“It’s an honor, but I want to thank everyone that has helped me get to this point,” Walker-Kimbrough said. “Not just this year’s team, but also my freshmanan­d sophomore-year teams. I had a bunch of great players around me that helped me get to this milestone.”

Moseley is one of them. The senior guard reached 300 career assists, becoming only the 18th Maryland player to do so.

“I do my best to get Shatori the ball, but she’s the one that does most of the work,” Moseley said.

The basket gave the Terps a 41-22 lead. The margin would swell to 21 at halftime.
