Leading 23-14 in the opening set, Maryland volleyball found itself in a familiar situation: ahead late in a set. The Terps, who have had issues closing out sets throughout the season, needed just two more points.
But this time, Maryland had no problems wrapping it up. Despite three consecutive points from Michigan State, pin hitter Katherine Scherer gave the Terps set point with her third kill of the match, which was followed by a Spartans attacking error.
In the midst of an eight-game losing streak, Maryland looked for its first victory since Oct. 5. In a battle of two teams with a 1-11 conference record, the Terps came out on top, winning in four sets on Thursday night in College Park.
