This is the Maryland Minute, a short story followed by a roundup of Terps-related news.

Maryland women’s tennis took part in the ITA Kickoff this past weekend, finishing 1-1.

Its first test came on Saturday against now-No. 1 North Carolina, where the Terps didn’t manage a single victory. The Tar Heels won three singles and two doubles matchups, with the remaining four matchups not being finished.

After falling short against UNC, the Terps responded Sunday by downing Utah, 4-2.

They won the opening two single matches, with senior Selma Cadar and junior Minorka Miranda taking their matchups in straight sets.

After going unbeaten in doubles, the Terps were set up for a potential victory with sophomore Kallista Liu needing to secure a win. She downed Utah’s Anastasi Goncharova 6-2, 7(7)-6(5) to bring Maryland’s overall record to 4-1.

“Great team win for us today,” head coach Katie Dougherty said in a press release. “We did a good job at two and three doubles of grabbing the momentum and not letting up. The team was able to take the lessons we learned from playing an excellent UNC team yesterday and implement them today.”

Next, Maryland will head back on the road for a matchup against Dartmouth on Feb. 5.
