LAHAINA, Maui — Even though the game was played on a neutral court, Maryland definitely felt like the unwelcomed visitor.

Sean Mosley scored 19 points and the 21st-ranked Terrapins weathered a slow start and a raucous local crowd to beat Chaminade, 79-51, last night in the first round of the EA Sports Maui Invitational.

The Terrapins (4-0) advanced to a semifinal meeting today with Cincinnati, which beat No. 24 Vanderbilt, 67-58, in the first round.

"That first game is always tough in any tournament but especially in this situation," Maryland coach Gary Williams said. "I thought Chaminade did a great job of creating an atmosphere out there. That was like playing a road game. And that was good for us because we've played three home games."

Shane Hanson had 14 points and Steven Bennett added 12 for the Silverswords (0-1).

Eric Hayes added 12 points for the Terrapins.

The score was tied at 14 with 8:10 to play in the first half.

"That first half we were right there with them, a couple errors toward the end of the half and I think it could have been a little tighter," Chaminade coach Matt Mahar said.

Mosley scored seven points in Maryland's 22-12 run that gave it a 36-24 halftime lead.

The Terrapins came out strong in the second half, stringing together a 9-2 run fueled by four points from Mosley.
