The rush of players onto the court, shrieking in joy, and silence from the opposing fans set the scene on Sunday after Maryland volleyball shocked the ninth-ranked Purdue Boilermakers for the team’s first top 10 road win since joining the Big Ten.
It was a great weekend for the Terps, who went 2-0 to extend their win streak to three games — all in conference play. Friday’s game against Northwestern started off the weekend on a high note, as Maryland defeated the Wildcats in straight sets. Then, Sunday’s matchup against Purdue was the team’s best game of the season, also making a statement by winning in three sets.
