In college sports, overcoming tough schedules can be a challenge for teams that aren’t playing the best, especially when an unranked team has to play two top 10 opponents in back-to-back days on the road.
Maryland volleyball went 0-2 last weekend, and it seemed like the team didn’t have much of a chance. Last Friday, the Terps traveled to Minneapolis to take on No. 9 Minnesota, and were promptly swept by the Gophers, 3-0. Last Saturday, Maryland traveled to Madison to face the highest ranked team in the Big Ten in No. 3 Wisconsin, which also dominated and swept the Terps.
