COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Utilizing pins from both sophomore Joe Guzzio (Greensboro, N.C./Grimsley) and freshman Jake Stork (Mohrsville, Pa./Schuylkill Valley), the Maryland wrestling team outlasted Howard, 25-16, in Ritchie Coliseum.
By random draw, Howard heavyweight Adrian Thompson opened the dual meet by pinning Jule Dolci with only seven seconds left in the match. At 125 pounds, Guzzio manhandled Camilo Martinez throughout the first period -- repeatedly stepping out of bounds in each fall situation -- but pinned him at 3:37.
At 133, redshirt freshman Brandon York (Gaithersburg, Md./Damascus) gave the Terps their first lead of the night with a 13-6 decision over Derrick Butts, but Henry Hilton responded with a major decision to get the lead back for the Bison at 10-9.
After Terrapin captain Ted Harlan (Glenmore, Pa./Haverford Prep) shutout Kelly Miller, 4-0, at 141 pounds, Stork earned his team-leading 12th fall of the season against Jonathan Norris. Another freshman, Sal Aquia (Baltimore, Md./Bishop O'Connell), added a critical major decision to give Maryland a commanding 12-point lead. Howard won two of the three finals decisions, but could not close the margin.
The Terps move to 6-4 overall and 2-2 in the ACC as Howard falls to 4-7. Maryland hosts Old Dominion this Sunday, February 21 at 2 p.m. to close out the regular season.
