Current Miami head coach and former Terrapin Nicole Latagne-Welch (`94) is ranked first all-time at Maryland in career digs.

The Terps came out determined in the first game as they opened with a 7-1 lead with kills from Ashley Hogan, Brown and Aramburu. After the Hurricanes evened the score at 10-10, Maryland inched ahead to 16-15 on two straight kills by Brown, then scored three consecutive points on kills by Aramburu and a Miami error for 20-15. At 28-22, the Hurricanes had three points for 28-25, but the Terps' resolve set in and Jade Brown downed a kill, followed by a block by Mary Beth Brown and Aramburu for the 30-24 win.
