Cornell
Well its finally here. One of the most anticipated matches of the
season. I am very excited and looking forward to watching our guys
perform in this atmosphere. A few updates about the match. Apparently
the TV coverage fell through, so if you are interested in watching the
match, you will have to see it online through Cornell's website. They
will also be live text scoring available, which should provide up the
the minute stats of the match .
Also the match will be held in the Friedman Center, not Bartels Hall.
The match will begin at 6.30p. There are Basketball and Ice Hockey
games around the same time which means there will be heavy traffic
around the area. If you are planning on attending, please plan accordingly.
Here are the possible match ups**

This year's schedule is very competitive and will test us
throughout the year. We have a lot of variety in our schedule. There is a good
mix of teams we have seen before and teams we have not. We will compete with
teams from almost every conference, which will be very good for our guys because
they will be exposed to many different styles. We have the potential to do some
great things this coming season and this schedule will force us to be sharp and
focused throughout the entire season.
Among some of the Terps' notable opponents are Cornell, Lehigh, Central
Michigan, Penn, Purdue, Navy and American. We will also compete in the Body Bar
Invitational, Northeast Duals, Penn State Open, Midlands Championships and NWCA
National Duals. Its going to be a great year.

2009-10 Schedule
The unofficial start to the season is October 24 with the annual Red and
Black Wrestle-Offs exhibition in Comcast Pavilion. The Terps officially get
going November 7 with a home tri-meet against Drexel and York College. A
challenging trip to upstate New York beckons two weeks after the opening
tri-meet in College Park, as the Terps will face national power Cornell on the
road on a Friday evening in Ithaca before coming back Saturday to compete in the
Body Bar Invitational.
Things get no easier the following weekend with another trip to New York,
this time to Troy, N.Y., for a trio of exciting match ups in the Northeast
Duals. Maryland's three opponents include stalwarts Lehigh, Central Michigan and
Northern Colorado.
Atlantic Coast Conference competition begins December
4 at North Carolina. The Penn State Open is that same weekend then we return
home to Comcast Pavilion December 11 for a non-conference match up with the
University of Pennsylvania.
After a two-week holiday break, the Terps travel to Evanston, Ill., for the
second straight year to compete in the Midlands Championships, one of the most
prestigious college wrestling tournaments, at Northwestern University.
A return trip to the Midwest is scheduled for the following week, where
Maryland will compete in the National Wrestling Coaches Association National
Duals in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The Terps will be in Ashland, Ohio, the following
weekend for the Wendy's Duals, where Maryland will face Purdue, Kent State and
Ashland.
Following its three-week trip to the Midwest, Maryland returns to the area
for the final month to complete dual competition.
The annual highly-anticipated rivalry match up between Maryland and Navy is
set for January 22 in Annapolis. An ACC doubleheader is scheduled the next day
at Comcast Pavilion. Maryland will face NC State at noon and Duke at 5 p.m.
George Mason hosts the Terps January 29 before the Terps return home to face
Virginia Tech, last year's regular-season ACC champion, the following weekend in
College Park.
Another local rival is on tap February 12 as American University visits
College Park. Two days after the American tilt, Hofstra is in town for a
challenging non-conference clash on Valentine's Day.
The regular season ends February 20 with a short trip south to
Charlottesville, Va., to close the ACC season at Virginia.
Following the trip to Virginia, the Terps will have two weeks off before
coming right back to Charlottesville for the ACC Championship, where Maryland
will look to win its third straight conference title.
Maryland's NCAA qualifiers will travel to Omaha, Neb., March 18-20, as the
Terps will look to build on last year's school record-tying 10th place national
finish.
