Maryland softball (31-15, 7-10 Big Ten) dropped its fourth conference series of the season, as it lost two of three games to Penn State this past weekend.
The three-game set was highly contested, with each game being decided by one run.
Senior ace Courtney Wyche got the nod for the Terps in game one and pitched a gem, but the Terps fell in extra innings, 3-2. Wyche delivered 12 strikeouts in a complete game performance, but Penn State senior infielder Lexie Black hit a go-ahead solo shot in the eighth inning to give the Nittany Lions the series-opening win.
