COLLEGE PARK — Kaylene Smikle scored 14 of her 21 points in the first half, surpassing 1,000 for her career as No. 8 Maryland rolled past William & Mary, 107-57, on Thursday.
The 11 a.m. start time is part of Maryland Field Trip Days, which includes free admission for schoolchildren, teachers and chaperones. It created a loud, high-pitched environment, and the Terps (11-0) gave the young players plenty to cheer about.

Smikle reached the 1,000-point mark in the second quarter with a three-pointer that gave Maryland a 44-21 lead. He played two seasons at Rutgers before transferring to Maryland.
The Terps finished 20-1. They will face undefeated Michigan State on December 29.
