“Anytime you can go undefeated it’s a good weekend,” said head coach Kerry McCoy. “We had some big individual performances in each match which made it possible for the team to win. We started a little slow against Purdue, but got better as the day went on. Our guys are getting better every day and are ahead of schedule.”
The Terps found themselves in a tight match against Purdue, holding a slim 13-10 lead heading into the match at 184 pounds. Corey Peltier extended Maryland’s lead by taking a 2-1 decision over Nick Corpe, and No. 3 Hudson Taylor earned another close victory, 4-3 over No. 11 Logan Brown, to put the match out of reach. Patrick Gilmore defeated Adam Walls 6-0 in the heavyweight match to bring the final score to 22-10.
In the next match, Maryland easily dispatched an outmanned Ashland team. The Terps won nine of ten matches, four of them by pinfall, en route to a 45-6 victory. Matt Bogusz, Kyle John, Peltier and Taylor got pins for Maryland, while No. 10 Steven Bell won by a technical fall and No. 15 Josh Asper won by major decision.
The finale with Kent State was much closer, but the Terps won six of 10 matches to win 24-16 and finish the day undefeated. Pat Strizki got Maryland ahead early with a 9-6 decision over Troy Opfer in the match at 125 pounds. After falling behind 4-3 when No. 13 Danny Mitcheff took a major decision over Bell at 133 pounds, the Terps won the next four matches to reclaim control. No. 8 Alex Krom took a 3-0 decision over Chase Skonieczny, Jon Kohler pinned Tommy Sasfy, John had a 4-0 decision over Mallie Shuster and Asper took a 9-4 decision over Obie Simpson to give Maryland an 18-4 lead. At 197 pounds, Taylor pinned Casey Newburg, bringing his pin total to 19 this season.
Maryland is next in action on Friday night, when it travels to Annapolis, Md., to take on Navy at 7 p.m. The following day, the Terps have a home meet with North Carolina State at noon and Duke at 3 p.m.
