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

Maryland softball (32-16, 8-11 Big Ten) split its two-game series against Wisconsin this past weekend.

The Badgers took the first game of a doubleheader Saturday, 1-0, but the Terps won the second game, 3-2. The rubber match was scheduled for Sunday, but was cancelled due to inclement weather.

The loss came in familiar fashion for the Terps, who failed to register more than three runs for the sixth time in the last seven games. Their past four losses have each been decided by one run.

Senior-right hander pitcher Trinity Schlotterbeck threw six innings of scoreless ball, but faltered late. Wisconsin senior infielder Katie Keller hit the go-ahead sacrifice fly with the bases loaded in the seventh inning. Graduate right-hander Maddie Schwartz stymied the Terps all game long, pitching a complete-game shutout.

Maryland got its revenge a few hours later, though. It was senior day in College Park, and it was only fitting that its offense came from those honored pregame. Seniors Mackense Greico, Campbell Kline and Taylor Liguori drove in all three runs for the Terps.

On the mound, senior right-hander Courtney Wyche was excellent for Maryland. She allowed just four hits in a complete-game performance.

The win was Maryland’s 32nd of the season, the most wins in a single season for the program since it won 34 in 2012.
