Penta Homers in Series-Opening Loss to No. 21 Washington

Sammi Woods extended her team-leading hits total to 34 on Friday night.

SEATTLE, WA — The Terps' weekend series with No. 21 Washington opened with a 12-2 run-rule loss on Friday night. Mariah Penta hit her third homer of the season, but the Huskies stayed undefeated at home and dropped Maryland to 12-12 (1-3 Big Ten) in 2026. Anna McGowan hit an RBI double in the top of the first to open the scoring, and Penta's blast helped the Terps and Huskies trade blows in the opening inning, but Washington scored four runs in the second and two in the fourth to pull away with their 20th win of the season. Sammi Woods legged out a bunt single to record her team-leading hits tally to 34. The Huskies earned their 12th walk-off win of the season to remain unbeaten in conference play. Maryland and Washington (20-6, 4-0 Big Ten) are back in action again on Sunday at 6 PM. How it Happened:
  • T1: McGowan doubled home a run to get the scoring started.
