Virginia softball lost two games of a three-game series to Maryland (32-15, 6-9 ACC) this weekend in its second-to-last ACC matchup of the season.
The Cavaliers (14-33, 5-13 ACC) started off strong Saturday, taking the first game of a doubleheader 5-4 behind a complete game performance from junior Karla Wilburn, who held off a Maryland rally in the seventh for the win. Senior Meghan O'Leary and freshman Alison Pittman each contributed two hits and an RBI.
In the second game, senior Whitney Holstun took the loss after allowing four runs in four and one-third innings. The Terrapins' pitcher, sophomore Lindsey Wright, allowed just three hits in the 6-1 Maryland victory.
Maryland clinched the series with a 2-0 win after Wilburn allowed two runs in the third inning. The game was shortened because of rain in the bottom of the sixth inning.
The Cavaliers will play next in a road doubleheader against Towson.
