MM 7.13: Maryland volleyball releases 2022 non-conference schedule

After revealing its 2022 Big Ten schedule nearly a month ago, Maryland volleyball announced its non-conference schedule on July 11.

Head coach Adam Hughes has been at the helm of the program since 2018 and took the Terps to new heights last season. Maryland’s 19 wins in 2021 marked the most since 2010, which included a perfect 13-0 start.

The Terps will kick-start the season at the XFINITY Center Pavilion where they will host the Maryland Invite. Their opponents include Navy and Rhode Island on Aug. 26 and Florida Gulf Coast on Aug. 27.

Hughes’ team will then travel to Stony Brook, New York, to take on Georgetown, Stony Brook and South Florida before heading to the west coast to play in the San Diego State Tournament against Sacramento State, San Diego State and Arizona.

Maryland’s stretch of 12 consecutive non-conference games closes in Charlottesville, Virginia, during the Cavalier Classic. The Terps will face Mercer and East Carolina on Sep. 16 and Virginia on Sep. 17.

Big Ten play will begin on Sep. 23 against Illinois, a lone road game before a four-game home stint. Maryland will head back to College Park to square off against Indiana on Sep. 25, Michigan State on Sep. 30, Nebraska on Oct. 2 and Illinois again on Oct. 7.

The Terps will take on Wisconsin on Nov. 12 in a highly-anticipated rematch. Maryland defeated the Badgers last season, 3-2, in perhaps its biggest win in program history as Wisconsin was the No. 2 ranked team in the nation at the time.

With a single road game against Indiana on Nov. 26, Maryland’s season will conclude in a similar fashion to how Big Ten play started.
