Maryland tennis had its final two regular-season match days over the weekend, and while it lost to Illinois on Sunday, Friday\u2019s victory over Northwestern was the eighth conference victory for the Terps of the season \u2014 setting the record for most in a season by the Terps ever.<\/p>\n
It was far from a sure thing Friday \u2014 the Terps dropped the doubles point, but Emma Ghirardato, Magdalena Baniak and Tamari Gagoshidze won their singles matches to put the Terps on three points.<\/p>\n
Maryland and Northwestern were tied, 3-3, with Diya Challa playing in what would become the tiebreaking game. The junior won the first set, 6-4, before dropping the second, 4-6. With all eyes on her, Challa won the deciding set, 6-4, to clinch the match and the 4-3 team victory.<\/p>\n
Senior day against Illinois saw Maryland drop the doubles point again. Baniak won her match, and Ghirardato appeared poised to win hers in a third set, but straight-set losses from Oliwia Orlinska, Lucia Donnelly and Gagoshidze were enough to give the Illini the 4-1 team victory.<\/p>\n
Now, the Terps are the No. 7 seed in the Big Ten Tournament, which will kick off Thursday at Ohio State. The Terps\u2019 first match will be a rematch against Northwestern at 2:30 p.m. It will stream on Big Ten Plus.<\/p>\n
