COLLEGE PARK, MD – Maryland volleyball fell to No. 16 USC in consecutive sets (15-25, 17-25, 23-25) on Friday at the Xfinity Center Pavilion. The Terps are now 10-8 overall and 1-6 Big Ten play.
The Trojans took the first set despite a 5-1 run that put the Terps within striking distance. The second set was more competitive, beginning with a back-and-forth battle featuring five kills for Maryland’s first five points. The Terps even staged a late-set rally to pull back within four of USC, but they couldn’t hold on to take the second frame. Maryland left it all on the floor in the third set, matching the Trojans through 22 points.
