COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Michigan State volleyball wrapped up a four-match road swing Sunday afternoon with a sweep over Maryland (25-13, 25-23, 25-23) inside Stephen M. Schanwald Pavilion.

MSU moves to 17-3 overall and 7-3 in the Big Ten with the win, while Maryland drops to 12-9 and 2-8 in the conference.

The Spartans hit .276 for the match and held the Terrapins to .147 hitting while leading in kills (45-33), service aces (6-3), blocks (11-6) and digs (39-29).

Freshman outside hitter Madi Andrews led the Spartans in kills with 12 on .250 hitting while just missing a double-double with nine digs. Junior middle blocker Carmen Waye had eight kills on .429 hitting, while senior outside hitter Karolina Staniszewska and junior opposite Hayley Ogden each added seven kills. Ogden also put up a career-high-tying seven blocks and senior middle blocker Zora Hardison led MSU in total blocks with eight.

Redshirt sophomore setter Malayah Long provided a team-high 37 assists and added five digs. Senior libero Lia Schneider led MSU with 10 digs. Staniszewska, Waye and senior libero Ky Clayton each added a team-best two service aces.

After a back-and-forth start, Maryland called a timeout following a 5-0 MSU run with kills from Waye and Ogden and blocks from Hardison and Ogden at 8-4. The Terrapins then called another timeout after the Spartans extended their run to 8-0 with an Andrews kill and back-to-back Ogden kill. The Spartans made it a 12-0 run at the media timeout after kills from Hardison and a pair of Maryland attack errors. Maryland got as close as eight in the set with a 4-0 run at 19-11, but a Staniszewska kill followed by two Maryland errors extended the Spartans' lead back to 11 at 22-11. Two Staniszewska kills and a Maryland error ended the set on a 3-0 MSU run to give the Spartans the first, 25-13.

MSU called a timeout early in the second after the Terrapins used a 4-0 run to take a one-point lead at 8-7. The Spartans took a one-point lead at 13-12 after a Hardison kill and Clayton service ace before Maryland used a 3-0 run to take a 15-13 lead at the media timeout. Maryland extended their lead to 17-13 after the timeout with back-to-back points before the Spartans used two Ogden kills, kills from Waye and Staniszewska and a Maryland attack error to take back a one-point advantage at 18-17 and force a Maryland timeout. Maryland took another timeout after a Waye solo block and Terrapin error stretched the MSU lead to three at 20-17. MSU took a four-point lead at 23-19 with an Andrews kill before the Terrapins used a 3-0 run to cut the MSU lead to one and force an MSU timeout at 23-22. A Maryland kill out of the timeout tied the set at 23-23, but a kill from Long set up set point for the Spartans before an Andrews kill finished off the set, 25-23.

Neither team was able to take more than a one-point lead early in the third set until a 4-1 Maryland run gave the Terrapins a three-point, 15-12 lead at the media timeout. MSU fired off three-straight Waye points out of the timeout with a kill and back-to-back service aces to tie the set at 15-15 and took a one-point lead at 17-16 with a block from Ogden and Hardison followed by a block from Long and Hardison. Kills from Andrews tied the set at 19-19 and again at 20-20 before a Waye kill and block from Waye and Staniszewska helped MSU to a 22-21 lead to force a Maryland timeout. Another Waye kill out of the timeout gave the Spartans a two-point lead at 23-21 force a second Maryland timeout. MSU called timeout after a Maryland kill cut the lead back to one at 23-22. The Terrapins stopped MSU's first match point at 24-23 after a Staniszewska kill, but a second Staniszewska kill out of another MSU timeout ended the set and match, 25-23.

Up next, MSU returns to the Breslin Center to host Indiana on Friday, Oct. 30 at 6 p.m. on the Big Ten Network.
