    Bloomsburg takes down Maryland

    BLOOMSBURG -- The Bloomsburg University wrestling team scored wins in 6 of 10 matches and posted a 22-15 win over 20th-ranked University of Maryland at the Nelson Field House on Saturday.

    The Huskies started the night with a big win by Chris Smith (Mineral, Va./Chancelor) at 174 pounds, who scored a 17-0 win by technical fall. The Terrapins came back with wins in the next two bouts, including an upset of Bloomsburg's Richard Perry (Meriden, CT/Middletown), to go on top 9-5.

    At heavyweight the Huskies Justin Grant (Easton/Easton) scored a 2-1 win, but following the end of the match Maryland's Dallas Brown was called for unsportsmanlike conduct with the Terps getting penalized one team point. At 125, Bloomsburg's Sean Boylan (Seaville, NJ/St. Marks) posted 4-1 win (tie-breaker) to put the Huskies on top 11-8.

    At 133, the Huskies Nick Wilcox (Greene, NY/Greene Central) turned in a great effort and scored a 6-3 win over 12th-ranked Geoffrey Alexander. Wilcox sealed the win with a takedown in the final seconds. Maryland scored wins in the next two bouts, including a win by major decision at 149, to put the visitors on top 15-14.

    But the Huskies finished the match with wins from two of its ranked wrestlers, Frank Hickman (Castle Hayne, NC/E.A. Laney) and Josh Veltre (Rochester, NY/Greece Olympia), to pull out the win 22-15.

    “That was a good team win for us,” said Huskies head coach John Stutzman. “Anytime you beat a top-20 team it's a good win. The wrestler of the day for us had to be Nick Wilcox (Greene, NY/Greene Central), who beat a top-12 guy (Alexander). That was a huge win for us.”

    “Overall I am very pleased with our effort up and down the lineup,” Stutzman added. “We have some things to work on, but we are going in the right direction.”

    The Huskies, 8-2, will be back in action on Sunday, Jan. 13, at the Pitt Duals. Maryland falls to 6-3 on the season.
