Maryland softball released its 2022 season schedule on Tuesday.
The season will begin with a trip to Miami, Florida for the FIU Tournament held at Florida International University. The Terps will return home for their first game at Maryland Softball Stadium on March 16 when they host UMBC in the first game of the Maryland Invitational.
The Terps will play the entire first month of the season away from home when they compete in a variety of events on the road. Maryland will face off against a plethora of ranked opponents, such as No. 25 Liberty, No. 13 Missouri, No. 11 Arkansas and No. 4 James Madison.
Maryland will kick off conference play when it travels to play a series at Penn State starting March 25. After that, the Terps will get their first Big Ten home series of 2022 when they welcome Iowa from April 1-3. The Terps’ other Big Ten matchups are at Purdue, Michigan, a doubleheader against Rutgers, Minnesota, Michigan State and Ohio State.
Last season, Maryland was only able to play conference opponents and finished with a final record of 19-25. Its signature victory was a 2-1 victory over No. 24 Minnesota, the program’s first victory over a ranked opponent since 2017.
