Without outside hitter Sydney Bryant — its third-highest kills contributor on the team — and facing another ranked foe in No. 11 Purdue, Maryland volleyball faced a daunting task. The Terps needed someone to step up.
And freshman pin hitter Katherine Scherer did just that. She recorded a season-high seven kills, including three in the opening set. But her efforts weren’t enough, as the Terps were outmatched once again, falling in straight sets Friday night.
“I thought [Scherer] handled herself really well and that she had a good mindset going into it,” head coach Adam Hughes said.
