“Our guys wrestled tough and really fought hard tonight,” said head coach Kerry Mccoy. “It was nice to see the things we were working on show up in our matches.”
After trailing early, thanks to Bucknell victories by Derek Reber over Brian Marcoux at 125 pounds and No. 4 Kevin LeValley over Ben Dorsay at 149 pounds, the Terps strung together four consecutive wins to regain the lead for good, beginning with No. 13 Kyle John’s 2-1 decision over Brantley Hooks. No. 5 Josh Asper, No. 17 Mike Letts and Corey Peltier followed with convincing wins of their own to extend the Maryland lead to 18-7.
Bucknell’s Jay Hahn earned his team just its third match of the night with an 11-7 decision over Christian Boley at 197 pounds. At heavyweight, Terrapin Spencer Myers won his second technical fall match of the season with a controlling 19-4 victory to guarantee Maryland’s eight double-digit win on the year.
With the win, the Terps remain undefeated in 2011, having won all four dual meets since New Year’s by an overall margin of plus-71.
Maryland returns to College Park for a four-game home series beginning on Saturday, Jan. 22 at 4 p.m. against local rival Navy followed by its first ACC dual against Virginia Tech on Sunday, Jan. 23.
