COLLEGE PARK, MD – Maryland (26-8, 3-3 B1G) finished off a home sweep of Michigan State (10-7, 1-5 B1G) in an 8-0 shutout win on Sunday. It's the first time in program history that Maryland recorded three shutouts in a Big Ten Series sweep and its the Terps' first conference series sweep since their sweep of Iowa from April 1-3, 2022.

Maryland extended its program-best start, improving to 26-8 on the season, thanks to a cast of hitting and a prolific pitching performance from Courtney Wyche. The senior carried a no-hitter into the fourth inning, finishing off her fourth-career one-hitter and first this season. Her 12-strikeout performace was her fifth double-digit strikeout game of the season and ninth of her career.

The Terps scored in bunches on Friday, starting things off with a four-run second inning that saw Trinity Schlotterbeck add on to her growing RBI total with an RBI single. Campbell Kline continued the rally with an RBI bunt single and both Megan Mikami and Kiley Goff had RBI singles of their own as Maryland took a commanding 4-0 lead.

Maryland's offensive production continued in the third as Jaeda McFarland benefitted from two throwing errors off a single, recording a 'little league' home run as she scored on the play. Schlotterbeck had her second RBI hit of the day later in the inning, an RBI triple for a 6-0 lead. An RBI groundout from Kline and RBI double from Sammi Lewis secured the series sweep in the fifth and sixth innings, respectively. Four Terps had multiple hits, two had multiple RBI and two scored multiple runs.
