With UMBC down 0-2 in the match, it was desperate to protect its undefeated tournament record against Maryland volleyball. After committing six errors, the Terps found themselves in a four-point hole, early in the third set.
The Terps did not continue their fall into a relaxed mindset, though, as they cleaned up their act and erupted for a 15-2 run to all but officially win the set.
This newfound play came out of a strategic Adam Hughes timeout that was immediately followed by two kills from the dynamic offensive duo of Paula Neciporuka and Sam Csire. The outside hitters yet again proved to be the backbone of this Maryland squad, leading the team in kills with 184 combined.
