Maryland Announces 2016 Baseball Schedule, Opponents Include Alabama, Tennessee, Cal State-Fullerton and Anteaters of UC-Irvine; Best-Ever Recruiting Class Lands in National Top 20

BALTIMORE, Maryland November 4, 2015 - A baseball schedule that opens in the middle of February with a three-game series at SEC powerhouse Alabama, and also includes a three-game set  on the west coast against another national power, California State at Fullerton.  That same west coast trip also includes a game against the powerful Anteaters of the University of California at Irvine.

The schedule - molded by Maryland's highly successful head coach, John Szefc - is designed to expose the team to the kind of pressure the team will face should they again qualify for the NCAA tournament.  After a long long drought, the Terps gained entry to the NCAA tourney in 2014, and against all of the odds, Maryland emerged from the four-team regional tournament at the University of South Carolina
