By Associated Press

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Sammy Zeglinski scored a career-high 25 points, and Virginia beat Maryland 74-60 Saturday to cap a disappointing regular season for the defending Atlantic Coast Conference co-champions.

The Cavaliers (16-14, 7-9) led by 13 with 7:13 left, let the margin shrink to five and then pulled away to present coach Tony Bennett with his 100th career win. Zeglinski, a junior guard, went 6 for 7 from beyond the arc in eclipsing his previous best of 24 points.

Mustapha Farrakhan scored 19 and Assane Sene had 15 to help Virginia secure its fourth win in five games. The Cavaliers also avenged a 24-point loss to Maryland in January.

Playing on Senior Day in a packed arena, the Terrapins (18-13, 7-9) fell behind late in the first half and never recovered. Maryland, which tied Duke for the ACC regular-season title last year, has dropped three straight and five of seven.
