COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) -- Amy Simpson and Kaayla Chones each scored 15 points as North Carolina State (No. 8 ESPN/USA Today, No. 11 AP) rallied from an 11-point second-half deficit to defeat Maryland 74-66 Thursday.

The Wolfpack (19-4 overall, 10-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) outscored the Terrapins 10-1 over the final 4:06 to claim their fourth straight conference win.

They did it without leading scorer and rebounder Summer Erb, a 6-6 center out for six weeks after suffering a broken left foot Feb. 3.

Maryland (13-10, 4-8) was led by Marche Strickland's 16 points.

The Terps have lost two in a row for the first time this season.

Trailing 51-40 early in the second half, N.C. State used a 19-4 run to take a 59-54 lead with 11:14 left.

Following a Terrapins rally, the Wolfpack took the lead for good on Simpson's 15-footer with 4:06 left to make it 65-64.
