Maryland volleyball looked like an entirely new team this past weekend against Iowa. In the first leg of the weekend series, Maryland had a season-high .276 hitting percentage. The Terps topped that the next day with a .349 hitting percentage to complete the series sweep.
Playing its best volleyball of the season, Maryland will look to ride the momentum of the previous weekend against the Fighting Illini. Maryland has not beaten Illinois since joining the Big Ten in 2014, only winning two sets in eight matchups.
“We’re trying to climb the ladder,” head coach Adam Hughes said.
