Heading into Friday’s matchup against Indiana, Maryland volleyball head coach Adam Hughes had gotten the better of his predecessor Steve Aird thrice in the three meetings since his promotion in 2018, one he was thrust into following Aird’s sudden departure.
Having just one win on the season has been a sore spot for the Terps in 2021, but another win over Indiana would have been just what the team needed after last weekend’s postponement stifled its momentum.
The Terps hadn’t lost to the Hoosiers since Oct. 2, 2015, but bogged down by COVID-19 related issues, that changed Friday night. Maryland was swept in three sets (25-27, 22-25, 19-25), dropping the team to 1-0 on the season.
