  • Terps Dominate Delaware State, Duquesne

    COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The Maryland wrestling team returns home for the first time in 46 days when the Terrapins host Navy on Wednesday, January 10 at 7:00 p.m. at the Comcast Pavilion. The Terps will be putting their six-match winning streak on the line against the Midshipmen. Due to the men's basketball game that same evening, parking is limited. Instructions on parking and entering the Comcast Center are included in this story.

    Fans attending the wrestling match will be able to park free of charge in Lot 1 around Ludwig Field. The Department of Transportation Services will run a shuttle from the lot to Comcast Center beginning at 6:00 p.m. Lot 1 is located directly off of Campus Drive in front of Ludwig. Spectators can also park in the Regents Drive Garage for $5.

    Fans must enter Comcast Center on the north side closest to route 193 and directly behind the Terrapin Softball Complex. No access will be permitted to other areas of Comcast Center without a men's basketball ticket.

    The Terps are currently on a six-match winning streak heading into the battle against Navy, who is receiving votes in the latest USA Today/NWCA/InterMat poll. In Maryland's latest sweep on Sunday, it outscored its opponents 92-6 in wins against Delaware State and Duquesne. Seven Terps were credited with a pair of wins on the day.

    Leading the way for Maryland was redshirt freshman Hudson Taylor who earned his two victories at 197 by way of technical fall and fall. It was his team-leading seventh pin of the season in 16 wins. Sophomore Alex Krom won by major decision and fall at 141. Junior Andrew Schlaffer won by major decision and technical fall while sophomore Josh Haines picked up a technical fall. Senior Jerry Afari also recorded a fall in the day.

    Navy comes into College Park with a 4-4 record with all of their losses coming against nationally ranked teams. On November 12, the Midshipmen lost to No. 19 Wisconsin before narrowly falling to No. 8 Northwestern, 20-16. No. 7 Oklahoma handed Navy its third loss last Saturday by a score of 30-9. Later that day, Navy almost pulled of an upset of No. 4 Oklahoma State but lost, 19-17.

    The Terps will remain at Comcast on Saturday, January 13 when North Carolina and No. 15 Illinois come to College Park. The Terps will take on the Tar Heels at noon and then the Illini at 4:00 p.m. All parking and entrance information will remain the same as on Wednesday night due to the men's basketball game in Comcast Center at 2:00 p.m.
