HOUSTON – The Terps engineered their most complete win of the season, besting Nevada 6-3 and battling wet conditions on a drizzly morning in southeast Texas to get off to their best start as a team since 2015.

Taylor Okada went a perfect 4-4 on the day and a stellar 10-18 on the weekend, knocking in four runs and adding two doubles and a triple to add to her Houston Classic resume.

Sydney Golden started the game in the circle for the Terps and pitched a solid 4.1 innings, striking out one batter and only allowing one earned run. Sami Main came in for relief and got the job done, pitching the remaining 2.2 innings only allowing two hits and no earned runs. Golden was credited with the win and improves to 3-2 on the season.

Okada hit a lead-off double and scored the first run of the day after being driven in on an Anna Kufta RBI groundout and gave the Terps the 1-0 lead. Nevada answered in the bottom of the third, to knot the score 1-1 after the first frame.

After a quiet second inning, Maryland tacked on another run on a – surprise – Taylor Okada RBI single in the top of the third, which put the Terps up 2-1. Neither team wouldn't produce much offense again until the fifth, when the Terps added two more runs on four hits by Okada, Brashear, Kufta and Voulgaris which made the score 4-1.

In the bottom of the fifth, Nevada threatened with two runners on base and just one out, then scoring a runner on the next at-bat. Sami Main went in to relieve Golden, and made the best of a tough situation getting the Terps out of the inning still leading 4-2.

Maryland's batters went down in order in the top of the sixth, but the Terps turned their first double play of the season in the bottom of the frame. Maryland added a couple insurance runs in the top of the seventh when Anna Kufta threaded the needle and hit a 2-RBI single right up the middle to make the score 6-2.

The Wolfpack added one more run in the bottom of the seventh in a last-ditch comeback effort, but was unable to make anything else happen off Sami Main. Main struck out the Nevada batter for the last out of the game and the Terps would win, 6-3.

The Terrapins return to the diamond next weekend at the Amy S. Harrison Classic in Riverside, California.
