Morgan State wrestling returned to its dual schedule on Monday evening and posted a 53-0 home victory over Marymount University at Hill Field House to improve to 1-5 on the season.
“It feels good to get our first win at Morgan State,” said Bears coach Kenny Monday. “We haven’t had a program here in 27 years, so it feels really good to get that first win of the season.”
“The guys wrestled well, and I’m proud of the way they competed today,” added Monday. “There will be many more wins to come.”
