The Terps (10-5, 1-3 Big Ten) and Scarlet Knights (5-10, 0-3 Big Ten) battled back and forth in each set, but Maryland came away with a clean sweep using its defense and ability to serve. It held a 10-3 advantage in service aces. The Terps continue their dominance on the serve, remaining in the top five in the nation for aces and in the top 10 in aces per set

Samantha Schnitta led the way with five service aces. The graduate pin hitter has 52 service aces on the season, ranking first in the NCAA. She added 10 kills and seven digs in the match.

Another nice win for the Gophers. It wasn't a big pressure match and the Gophers could concentrate on trying things, execution, and having fun. Great all around play. Outstanding blocking.

A block was the proper termination to the match. Watching Awoleye's stats accumulate was half the fun.
