No. 1 South Carolina opened its season with a 101-93 win over No. 20 Maryland on Monday at the Adidas Arena in Paris, according to On3 and the official box score. South Carolina led by 31 points early in the third quarter and by 19 going into the fourth, On3 reports.

Then Maryland came back. Addi Mack, a sophomore, scored 31 of her career-high 35 points in the second half, On3 and Maryland Athletics report. The Terrapins cut the lead to six points with 43 seconds left, On3 says. Free throws by Jerzy Robinson and Jordan Lee sealed the win, the outlet reports.

“I’m really proud of our resiliency in the second half,” Maryland coach Brenda Frese said, according to On3. “Obviously, Addi put the team on her back.”

“Physically, we probably were a little tired, but when you’re physically tired, your mental habits have to kick in,” South Carolina coach Dawn Staley said, On3 reports.

Joyce Edwards led South Carolina with 23 points, the box score shows. Agot Makeer added a career-high 20 points and made all four of her three-point shots, On3 reports.

Chloe Kitts and Ashlyn Watkins played after missing all of last season with torn ACLs, On3 reports. Kitts started and scored eight points. Watkins had a game-high 10 rebounds.

South Carolina plays North Carolina on Sunday in Charlotte, On3 reports.
