🔼 Making History. Maryland volleyball picked up its first-ever win in a Big Ten road opener on Wednesday, topping Rutgers 3-1 in Piscataway, N.J.

The Terps hit .333 against the Scarlet Knights, topping the .300 mark in a conference match for the first time since 2021. Samantha Schnitta, Sam Csire and Laila Ivey all recorded double-digit kills.

🔼 Roadie At Sparty. For just the 10th time in history, Maryland and Michigan State women’s soccer will match up Thursday night.

The Terps (3-3-5) are in East Lansing to take on the Spartans (7-2-2) at 7 p.m. to try to even the all-time series — MSU currently leads 3-2-3.

🔼 Tip Time Set. Maryland men’s basketball’s Gavitt Games matchup on Nov. 17 against Villanova will tip off at 8:30 p.m. and will be televised on FS1!

🐢 ONE BIG THING

World Class Terp. Yewande Balogun’s Maryland women’s soccer career ended in 2011. At that point, as she dealt with injuries, she thought her playing career was over.

Ten years later while coaching at UC Davis, she filled in at goalkeeper for a California semi-pro team.

Two years after that, she suited up for Nigeria in the 2023 Women’s World Cup.
