The Terps closed the Terrapin Invitational with a dominant win behind Wiegand’s career day.

COLLEGE PARK, MD — Elisea Wiegand threw her second complete game of the 2026 season as Maryland took down UMBC 8-0 to close the Terrapin Invitational on Sunday afternoon. Gracie Wilson recorded her first-career multi-hit day and Anna McGowan ripped her sixth homer of the season as Maryland moved to 10-9 in 2026 and 4-0 at home.

Wiegand made her sixth start of the season in the circle on Sunday and dominated UMBC to earn her third win of the season. She only allowed one baserunner across her first four hitless frames, and collected three strikeouts during her career-high six-inning outing. A lone hit in the fifth was the only blemish against her in Maryland's second straight complete-game effort from its pitching staff.
