MM 3.21: Maryland softball nears .500 overall record with 5-3 win over North Dakota State

Maryland softball added another win this weekend, improving to a 13-14 overall record after its 5-3 win over North Dakota State. The Terps’ two-run victory on Sunday was a part of the Capital City Classic.

The Terps started the game hot with four runs after the first two innings. Despite giving up three runs in the top of the third inning, Maryland scored one more insurance run in the fifth to close out North Dakota State. North Dakota State scoreless from the fourth inning on.

The victory marked the Terps’ second straight win as well as their third win in the last four games.

Sophomore catcher Kiley Goff led the way with a 3-for-3 performance at the plate, which resulted in an RBI and a run scored. Eight of Maryland’s nine starters recorded at least one hit in the victory.

Maryland will return to action on Friday when it begins conference play against Big Ten foe Penn State.
