Maryland volleyball endured another tough two-game set this past weekend against No. 7 Minnesota, suffering consecutive sweeps to drop to 0-4 on the year, the team’s worst start since 1989.
The Terps showed some life in some sets throughout the weekend, but they were no match for the poised Golden Gophers. Now, they face another Top-10 team in the No. 4 Nebraska Cornhuskers, who are fresh off two weeks’ rest after its latest series against Northwestern was postponed.
“There’s less film for us to go off of,” outside hitter Rebekah Rath said. “While we have an idea of some things they’ll do, we also will just have to wait and see how they adjust to us.”
