Maryland softball released its 2025 Big Ten schedule Saturday.

The Terps will host series against UCLA, Iowa and Penn State, travel to Rutgers, Indiana and Nebraska and play Michigan and Purdue at a neutral site yet to be announced.

Head coach Lauren Karn will look for improvement from her team in her second season at the helm. Maryland finished with a overall 24-30 record and 8-15 in conference play in 2024, a big step back from a successful 2023 under Mark Montgomery, who stepped away from the team after the season.
