After a 7-12 record last season, Maryland wrestling is much improved this season, starting its 2022-23 campaign by sporting a perfect 5-0 record and a No. 23 ranking at the holiday break. The toughest road is still ahead, though, as the Terps have yet to play a conference matchup. Last year, the squad went 0-8 in Big Ten play.
It should be noted, however, that the Terps have seen tangible improvement this year, and it can certainly be said that this is one of their best starts in a long time. First, their 37-0 victory over Duke was their first shutout since 2014.
