The Terps will face Collegiate Water Polo Association Southern Division rival Bucknell at 8 p.m. Friday and divisional foe George Washington at 3 p.m. Saturday before closing out the invite in an exhibition against Navy Aquatic Club at 8 p.m.
Maryland (3-5) is coming off a 2-2 showing at last weekend's Bucknell Invitational. The Terps defeated Slippery Rock and Penn State-Behrend, but fell to Marist and Michigan State.
