Oster needed just 1:45 to put the Terrapins' Ryan Diehl's shoulders on the mat, in a match where he had already posted several takedowns. Rubinetti got the night started on the right note with a 14-2 victory over Michael Beck, while Sebastian dominated Patrick Gerish on his way to a 16-4 decision. At 184lbs., Mitch Sliga's opponent was saved by the bell, as only time running out prevented the Wildcats junior from a major decision and he had to settle for a 10-3 win over Idris White.
Alec McKenna and Jacob Berkowitz both also earned decisive victories for Northwestern on the night.
Northwestern is now 2-0 all-time against Maryland.
The Wildcats will close out the dual campaign on Sunday when they face a Rutgers squad ranked No. 11 nationally, thanks to an 11-4 record on the season. All four losses have come against ranked opponents, including three in the top eight, all in the Big Ten.
