“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.
