Marissa Kastanek and Kody Burke scored nine points apiece for NC State (16-14, 5-11), which has lost four of its last five contests.
Maryland began the game on a 17-3 spurt over the first six-plus minutes of action, but NC State countered with a 14-2 run to pull within two, 19-17, with just under nine minutes to play in the first.
NC State got 21 of its 25 first-half points from its bench to keep the game close at 30-25 heading into the locker room.
