CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) -- Marissa Coleman had 20 points and 12 rebounds and No. 4 Maryland beat No. 6 Oklahoma 76-66 on Sunday night in the second game of the State Farm Tip-Off Classic.

Laura Harper added 16 points and 11 rebounds for the Terrapins (2-0), who shot nearly 46 percent, led by 24 and took command by outscoring the Sooners 30-9 during the final 12 minutes of the first half.

Ashley Paris scored 17 points on 8-of-12 shooting and Danielle Robinson added 15 points for the Sooners (0-1), who made the score respectable by outscoring Maryland 13-1 during the final 2:09.

And in a matchup of All-Americans Courtney Paris and Crystal Langhorne, it was the supporting players who put up the biggest numbers.

Kristi Toliver had 16 points and Marah Strickland added 14 for Maryland, which outrebounded the Sooners 43-32 and kept Oklahoma without a field goal for a 5-minute, 40-second stretch of the first half.

Courtney Paris, last year's Associated Press player of the year, finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds, extending her NCAA-record streak of games with double figures in both categories to 62 -- even though she didn't crack the 10-point mark until making a layup with 2:53 remaining.

She also set the school record for career rebounds with 1,075, breaking Molly McGuire's 25-year-old school career rebounding record of 1,071 with an offensive rebound after Amanda Thompson's miss with about 16 1/2 remaining.

Langhorne was the only Maryland starter who failed to score at least 10 points, finishing with just two points on 1-of-7 shooting -- nearly 15 points below her career average.

Maryland took control midway through the first half, taking the lead for good when Jade Perry's basket with 10:11 left made it 18-17. Toliver's short jumper at the buzzer pushed the lead to 42-24.
