COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) - Shay Doron scored a career-high 37 points to lead No. 21 Maryland to a 92-77 upset over No. 5 North Carolina on Sunday.
The Terrapins (11-2, 1-1 ACC) won their first game over a top-five opponent since beating No. 1 Tennessee on Dec. 30, 1992.
Crystal Langhorne added 23 points and 14 rebounds for Maryland. Doron finished 20-for-22 from the free-throw line.
