Maryland Wrestling Closes Regular Season with 25-15 Victory Over Virginia
Looking to close out the regular season on a high note, the Maryland wrestling team scored four major decisions, including one in each of the last three individual matches, to take a 25-15 decision over Virginia. Tenth-ranked Hudson Taylor, Patrick Gilmore and Brendan Byrne each took major decisions in the final three matches to win.

Eleventh-ranked Steven Bell won his match at 133 pounds by forfeit, and No. 9 Alex Krom took an 11-2 major decision to give Maryland an early 10-0 lead. After senior Steve Fehnel, who was honored in Senior Day ceremonies before the dual, lost his match, Kyle John took on Jedd Moore in the 157 pound contest.

John and Moore fought the match of the day, with both grapplers fighting for every advantage. As the crowd got more and more into the tightly-contested battle, John gained an upper hand late in the contest and looked close to earning a two-point takedown which would have given him a lead.

The Wolfpack’s Darrion Caldwell, ranked third nationally at 149, picked up a deceptively easy 8-3 decision over Joley Metzler to cut the ODU team lead to 9-6.
