Late in the fourth set, Maryland volleyball was down by one point and needed a set win to stay alive against No. 13 Penn State. A seemingly overhit ball from Nittany Lions junior middle blocker Allie Holland was originally counted as a point for the Terps, but head coach Katie Schumacher-Cawley decided to challenge the play. The call was reversed, giving the away team a 19-17 advantage.
Maryland head coach Adam Hughes had challenged two calls in the previous three sets to try and change his team’s momentum, and both times he failed to flip the call his team’s way.
