From Kerry McCoy:
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. http://www.cornellbigred.com/showcase/#liveevents

They will also be live text scoring available, which should provide up the the minute stats of the match . http://www.cornellbigred.com/news/2009/ ... 92240.aspx

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.

Biggest win in Md wrestling history

Thank you for the continued updates NA! Much appreciated.

A lot of fun to watch when it was on. Cornell is a great school but apparently lacks an audio video course.

thats a big win...great job by gilmore to pull out the W

I have to agree....this is epic. An absolutley HUGE win for the Terps.

I hate to be negative, and I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but there was not one single word about this in the Balt. Sun today. Though there WAS mention (a paragraph) on JHU's exciting win in..............................wait for it......................................WATER POLO!! You know, water polo, that wildly popular local sport played daily this time of year at schools and community pools all across the Freestate of maryland.

Well done MD! This is huge for them. I know rankings don't win national championships, but that confidence boost can produce much more. Lot of guys stepping up for big wins.

Here is the Flowrestling coverage of the match. http://www.flowrestling.org/videos/coverage/view/235970-maryland-at-cornell. Mack looked sharp, more aggressive than usual, and BIG for moving up a weight. I can't tell if Letts looked out of shape or just got broken so badly he was looking for the nearest hole to climb into. I am excited for Letts coming off his RS year, and what he'll do through the year. Rough start.

Both Letts and Lewnes are in the Semis at the Body Bar Invitational.
