Maryland softball will begin its 2021 campaign this upcoming weekend in the Leesburg, Florida, bubble. The Terps kick off the season with three consecutive doubleheaders Minnesota on Friday, Illinois on Saturday, and Wisconsin on Sunday.
After an abbreviated season in 2020, head coach Mark Montgomery returns for his second season as head coach of the Terrapins. While playing only one conference game in 2020, Maryland finished the season 12-11, which was tied for seventh in the conference.
Montgomery said that the team is “happy to be able to have the opportunity once again to compete against other schools.”

The team also posted new season-high scores on the vault, bars, and beam.
Senior Audrey Barber scored a personal best of 9.9 on vault, earning her first place overall. Sophomore Emma Silberman earned personal season bests in both the beam and vault along with tying her career-high score of 9.875 on the bars.
In the first of three home meets, Maryland will welcome Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska and Ohio State to College Park this Friday for the Big Five meet.
