Down in Clemson, South Carolina, Maryland softball struggled through the Big 10/ACC Challenge, playing two games each against Clemson and Pittsburgh.
The team, under new head coach Mark Montgomery, is still developing, which was apparent in a brutal 21-2 loss to Clemson. The Terps returned for one win against Pitt on Sunday, but lost their other two games to exit the weekend with a 2-7 season record and hopes for improvement to reach their goal of being a competitive team in the Big 10.
