Following their 30-point victory over Manhattan on Monday night, Maryland remains in College Park to face off against Mount St. Mary's on Friday night. The Mountaineers also won their first game of the season, a 98-62 victory over Notre Dame of Maryland. They're led by first-year head coach Donny Lind, who spent three seasons as an assistant in Emmitsburg before joining the staffs at Radford and UNC Greensboro. This is his first stint as a head coach, as he replaces Dan Engelstad who was fired after six years at the helm.

 

Maryland is 11-0 all-time against Mount St. Mary's, including a 68-53 win in their season opener last season.
