Holding a 23-17 lead in the first set, Maryland volleyball looked to avoid another late-set collapse and take a lead over Rutgers.
The Terps did exactly that, but not without some struggles. The Scarlet Knights scored three of the next four points, cutting the Terps’ lead to four.
Then, outside hitter Sam Csire wrapped it up for Maryland, hitting a ball cross court that Rutgers was unable to handle. The Terps rode their success from the opening set, collecting a straight-set victory Friday night over the Scarlet Knights.
“We did a really good job trying to stay steady,” head coach Adam Hughes said.
