Last year, the Maryland softball team finished with an 18-37 record but appeared in its first Big Ten tournament since 2015. However, the team enters 2019 looking much different. Thanks to graduations and transfers, there are only nine returning Terps and three returning starters.
The team is very young, with only three seniors and three juniors. While the Terps have lost half of their players from last year, they certainly gained a lot of young talent. The talent may be raw, but head coach Julie Wright expects the team to get better as the season goes on.
“I think we’re going to be a lot like the men’s basketball program in the growth during season,” Wright said at Maryland’s spring media day Jan.
