Maryland’s losing streak has moved to four after its heartbreaking five-set loss to Northwestern on Friday.
Despite Maryland outscoring Northwestern by nine points, the Terps were unable to come away with a win. Maryland pushed the Wildcats in every set but didn’t take care of business in the closing sets. The Terps did have an improved .219 hitting percentage from their last three matches and won the error margin by +22, but the match came down to who had the timelier points, and that was Northwestern.
Maryland will now face another unranked opponent below .500 with the Hoosiers, who are coming off a four-set win over Rutgers.
