Chloe Bibby was also in double figures with 16 points and seven boards.
The Terps (14-2) raced out to a 27-16 lead after the first quarter and never looked back, leading by as many as 27 at the end of the third quarter, 77-50.
Maryland outrebounded Nebraska, 38-30, and shot a sparkling 55.7% from the floor.
The Terps, ranked No. 9 in the country, return to action on Wednesday as they host Illinois at 1 p.m., in a game that will air on Big Ten Network.
