COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Big Ten home matches against Penn State, Ohio State, Minnesota and Iowa highlight the University of Maryland wrestling team's 2014-2015 schedule, which head coach Kerry McCoy announced Thursday.
Overall, the Terps will host 10 home events. In their debut season in the Big Ten, the Terps face a nine-match conference slate, including trips to Nebraska and Northwestern.
The Terps open the season with the annual Terrapin Duals on Nov. 2. Davidson joins last year's entrants Johns Hopkins, Kutztown and Alderson-Broaddus at the event. The Terps then play host to local rival George Mason on Nov. 9.
Big Ten competition begins on Nov. 14 when the Terps travel to Madison to face Wisconsin. Two days later, the squad will be in Lincoln for a showdown with Nebraska.
A road trip to Pittsburgh on Dec. 5 will mark the first of two ACC opponents the Terps will battle this season.
The Terps return home on Thursday Dec. 11 to welcome defending national champion Penn State before traveling to face Hofstra and Duke at the Grapple at the Garden in New York City on Dec. 21.
The Midlands Championships in Evanston, Ill., will welcome the Terps into the new year against some of the best competition in college wrestling. Maryland took home two individual titles at the tournament last season.
The 2015 slate begins with four consecutive home dates. Harvard (Jan. 9), Navy and Lehigh (Jan. 11.), Rutgers (Jan. 18), and Ohio State (Jan. 25) will give the Terps a stern test in the friendly confines of the XFINITY Center. The Buckeyes finished sixth at the 2014 NCAA Championships.
The Terps will hit the road on Jan. 30 to face Illinois before returning home on Friday, Feb. 6, to face Iowa, who finished fourth at nationals last season. Minnesota arrives in College Park two days later for a Sunday afternoon showdown. The Gophers finished a close second place to Penn State at NCAA's last year.
The regular season concludes with a trip back to Evanston to take on Northwestern on Feb. 13.
The Terps' first Big Ten Championships will be held in Columbus, Ohio from March 7-8. The 2015 NCAA Championships are scheduled to take place in St. Louis from March 19-21.
