Trailing 7-4 early in the fourth set Saturday against UCLA, Maryland volleyball sought to close out the match and earn its third Big Ten win of the season. Graduate pin hitter Samantha Schnitta — the country’s leader in service aces — emerged as she’s done all season.

She tallied consecutive aces, helping spark a monumental comeback en route to a 27-25 set victory.

Schnitta has made drastic strides this season, particularly in her serving. After recording just 0.2 service aces per set last year, Schnitta has skyrocketed to the highest mark in the nation with 0.7 service aces per set.
