Top-ranked South Carolina Holds Off No. 20 Maryland 101-93 in Paris Season Opener
Photo: Washington TimesTop-ranked South Carolina beat No. 20 Maryland 101-93 on Monday in the season opener for both teams in Paris. Joyce Edwards led South Carolina with 23 points, and five of its players finished in double figures. South Carolina built a big first-half advantage, then held off a strong second-half rally by Maryland.
The Washington Post, a left-leaning outlet, leads with Edwards' 23 points and South Carolina's first-half edge, and its headline frames the result as the top-ranked team holding off Maryland. The Washington Times, a right-leaning outlet, reports the same 101-93 score and Edwards' 23 points but leads with Maryland's late run, headlined as not enough to win, and adds that five South Carolina players reached double figures and that Edwards found her touch in the second quarter. Both agree on the score, the Paris setting, the season-opener context and Maryland's rally. They differ in emphasis: the left centers South Carolina's control, while the right centers Maryland's comeback and the depth of South Carolina's scoring. The alternative source, Yahoo Sports carrying an AP report, covers a different game, Maryland's 96-67 win over Bucknell on Monday, in which Andre Mills scored 22 points with 11 rebounds, so it offers no account of the Paris result.
How the sides differ Left stresses South Carolina holding off Maryland; right stresses Maryland's late run; alternative sources cover a different game.
