With several of its top players returning from last season, Maryland volleyball will look to make its presence felt in a loaded Big Ten conference that saw nearly half its teams make the 2022 NCAA Tournament.
The Terps went 9-3 in non-conference play last season after going undefeated in such matches the previous season. However, the Terps couldn’t ride that momentum in conference play, as they went just 7-13 against Big Ten opponents for the second year in a row.
2023 poses yet another difficult schedule for Maryland, with six of its conference opponents (Wisconsin, Nebraska, Minnesota, Penn State, Ohio State and Purdue) all ranked in the preseason AVCA top 25.
