Through two weekends of play, the Terrapins softball team has dealt with inconsistency.

And while the Terps (3-7) haven’t played as well as they’ve wanted to, coach Julie Wright is encouraging everyone to keep their heads up. The team has an opportunity to establish a winning streak in a five-game weekend tournament in Florida that includes matchups with Boston University, Columbia (twice), Florida Atlantic and Stony Brook.

“We’re staying positive even though we don’t have the record that we want right now,” infielder Corey Schwartz said.

The key to reversing the team’s disappointing start, Schwartz said, is taking things one step at a time.

Wright agreed. She also said the Terps have often failed to play within themselves.

“We had a few kids who were trying to do a little too much,” Wright said. “I think they’ve got that straight now.”

One of the main reasons for the Terps’ struggles has been inconsistency at the plate. They scored 13 runs in a game against San Diego two weekends ago in Arizona but have been held to one run or fewer in four of their first 10 games.

“We haven’t had enough of a plan at the plate,” Wright said.

Schwartz — a middle-of-the-lineup power threat — has struggled compared to last season. She hasn’t hit a home run after leading the team in that category a year ago.

But Schwartz said she felt like herself in her final at-bat Sunday against Alabama, and she’ll look to build off that performance.

There have been some positives for the Terps’ offense, though.

Catcher Kristina Dillard, who transferred to this university in the fall, hasn’t missed a beat with her new team.

She’s hitting .375, has three doubles and enters the weekend riding a nine-game hitting streak. She has also picked off three base runners.

She attributed her success to “honestly, just having fun.”

Infielder Skylynne Ellazar and outfielder Destiney Henderson, both sophomores, have also added production despite playing minimal roles last season. Ellazar leads the team with a .406 average, while Henderson is hitting .367.

While the Terps have failed to translate the individual successes to wins, there’s a sense that improvement is coming soon.

“We’re getting there,” Wright said. “But we’re not all the way there.”
