Maryland volleyball lost to No. 5 Minnesota Friday night in straight sets. The loss dropped the Terps to 16-9 on the season and makes them 5-8 in Big Ten play. The Golden Gophers, on the other hand, won their 22nd game, and they have only lost to Nebraska and Michigan State.
Erika Pritchard and Gia Milana both had star performances. Milana had 14 kills for a clip of .281 and Pritchard had 10 kills for a .280 clip. Pritchard’s play in the second and Milana’s in the third helped keep Maryland in the game despite the team frequently trailing.
