This is the Maryland Minute, a short story followed by a roundup of Terps-related news.
Maryland tennis defeated Penn State on the road, 4-1, on Sunday afternoon. The win — Maryland’s 17th of the season — set the program record for regular season wins in a single season, per a release.
Sunday marked the regular-season finale, and the Terps finished the slate with a 17-6 record and a 6-5 clip in Big Ten play. Maryland’s 6-5 conference mark was its best in five years.
The Terps came through in doubles matchups against the Nittany Lions, as the pairings of junior Selma Cedar and freshman Mary Brumfield (6-4) and sophomore Minorka Miranda and graduate student Marta Perez Mur (7-6) each performed to victories.
Freshman Kallista Liu, Brumfield and Perez Mur also each won singles matchups en route to the record-tying triumph.
The win solidified Maryland’s spot as the No. 7 seed in next week’s Big Ten Women’s Tennis Tournament in Iowa City, Iowa. Head coach Katie Dougherty’s Terps will begin their postseason journey against No. 10-seed Indiana on Thursday at 10 a.m. The full bracket can be viewed here.
