Maryland wrestling announced its Big Ten schedule for the 2021-22 season, the program revealed on Wednesday.
The Terps will kick off Big Ten conference play against Penn State at home on Jan. 7. Maryland will play a total of four conference matches at home. The Terps will face Wisconsin, Michigan and Michigan State in College Park. Looking at the program’s road schedule, Maryland will take on Indiana, Ohio State, Northwestern and Rutgers.
The team is looking to rebound after an 0-8 record last season. This season, the Terps will be thrown right into the fray, as they face Penn State at home in their first game. The Nittany Lions are coming off an undefeated season (6-0) finishing with the best record in the Big Ten and a second-place finish in the Big Ten Championship.
Coming into this season, Maryland is ranked as the No. 66 wrestling team in the nation. Additionally, sophomore Zach Spence is Maryland’s highest-ranked individual wrestler, as he is currently sitting as the No. 127 wrestler in the country.
Despite struggling last season, the future is bright for the Terps. They rank 11th in the country for their 2021 recruiting class according to Flowrestling’s annual rankings.
