Maryland’s teams across multiple sports have always remained under the spotlight at the Big Ten championships. In the volleyball championships, Maryland’s performance was quite disappointing this year. However, the team made a major comeback by winning the concluding showdown against team Rutgers, proving their hidden caliber.

Interestingly, soon after concluding the Big Ten Championships, Maryland Terps embarked on the journey to support fellow athletes across multiple sports. Maryland’s volleyball team was neither able to clinch a place among top-seed teams nor pass with flying colors. But this is not enough to hold the team back.

Soon after winning the concluding match against Rutgers, Team Maryland headed to Big Ten again. This time, it is not for playing a volleyball match but to appreciate the young emerging basketball team of the University of Maryland.

The volleyball team was seen at the recent showdown, with Maryland’s basketball team holding banners to motivate the team to win the title. The basketball team entered the arena to lock horns with Green Bay.
