BOSTON — Greivis Vasquez scored 17 points and dished out nine assists on his 23rd birthday to lead Maryland to an easy 73-57 victory over Boston College on Saturday.

Adrain Bowie scored 15 points, Cliff Tucker had 14 and Landon Milbourne added 13 for the Terrapins (11-5, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference).

Corey Raji finished with 14 points and seven rebounds for Boston College (10-8, 1-3). Reggie Jackson added 11 points and Joe Trapani had nine points and nine rebounds for the Eagles, who lost their third straight conference game.

Maryland, which never trailed, led 38-28 at halftime.

But their success was short-lived, as Maryland opened the half by scoring nine of its first 11 points.
