EAST LANSING, MI – After dropping the first set, Maryland (15-5, 3-5 Big Ten) reeled off three-straight wins to down Michigan State (8-9, 1-7 B1G), 18-25, 25-21, 25-16, 25-18, for their first ever victory at Michigan State. 

After dropping the first set, the Terps reorganized and came out firing in the second set. The Terps led the entire way and eventually went into intermission with a 25-21 set victory. The third set was even more in the Terps favor as they closed it out with an impressive 25-16 score. The fourth and final set was a tighter affair but the two-way performance by Sam Csire was enough to put the Terps over.
