    NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. -- The Maryland wrestling team used six major decisions and a fall to defeat Rutgers, 36-4, on Saturday at College Avenue Gym. The Terrapins won both of their duals on the day, beating Rider 25-16 earlier. The Terps improve their dual record to 7-3 this season.

    Sophomore James Knox, juniors Charlie Pinto and Andrew Schlaffer, freshman Mike Letts, and seniors Jason Kiessling and Jerry Afari all won by major decision for Maryland. Redshirt freshman Hudson Taylor won by fall in just 1:17.

    Knox, Pinto, Letts, Kiessling, and Afari all won both of their matches today. Knox improved his overall record to 7-6.
