The road for the Scarlet Knights doesn’t get any easier, as they travel to College Park, Md., for a Tuesday night meeting with Maryland (17-2, 5-1 Big Ten). Maryland entered the week ranked No. 25 in both major polls, and figure to move up after four straight wins, including road triumphs over Illinois and Iowa.
