Nebraska tramples Maryland to improve to 8-2

College Park, M.D. — The #7 Nebraska Cornhuskers won eight out of the ten matches against the Maryland Terrapins to take a 37-6 victory on Friday night at the Xfinity Center. NU won five of those eight matches by bonus points, not including a forfeit by Maryland at 174 pounds. “The team competed well tonight,” Nebraska Head Coach Mark Manning said. “I thought we came out with a purpose and put a lot of points on the board. It’s not about who we wrestle, but how we compete to our potential.”

#13 Zeke Moisey (125) got NU off to a terrific start with a dominating performance over Brandon Cray, taking a 16-4 major decision. True freshman Jevon Parrish, who burned his redshirt last weekend against Northern Iowa, won his first career dual tonight (he’s 13-5 overall). Parrish earned two first period takedowns to go up 4-2 and never trailed from there, riding out a 9-5 decision. “Jevon wrestled well once again tonight and he will gain a lot of confidence from his performance, ” Manning said.
#19 Chad Red Jr. had perhaps his best dual performance of the year in a 15-2 major decision against Michael Doetsch. He went up 12-0 in the third period before Doetsch got on the board with an escape. With the win, Red Jr. moves to 12-6 (5-4 in duals) on the season.
