After starting perfect at home with a 4-0 performance over the weekend, Maryland softball came up short against Virginia on Tuesday, as the Cavaliers pulled away late for a 7-1 win in College Park.
Maryland was without freshman second baseman Taylor Okada for the second game in a row, and the absence of the Terps’ most dangerous hitter this season (she’s posting a .426/.455/.574 line) was clearly felt. The offense mustered just four hits, all coming in the first two innings against freshman Aly Rayle. Rookie southpaw Clare Zureich pitched the final five frames, holding Maryland hitless.
Junior Kiana Carr started in the circle for the Terps, tossing four innings and allowing three runs on five hits.
