Trailing No. 11 Oregon 2-1 early in the opening set, Maryland volleyball looked to stay within striking distance and give itself an opportunity to come out with its first set victory in five matches. And the Terps got the run it desperately needed, scoring six consecutive points.
However, Maryland failed to close out the set.
After falling in four consecutive straight-set matches, the Terps were in dire need of a win in their first Big Ten West Coast road trip. But Maryland was unable to leave Eugene, Oregon, with any sort of progress, losing 3-0.
With the Terps up 6-2, defensive specialist Lilly Gunter recorded a service ace, the first of the match.
