EAST LANSING, Mich. -- The Michigan State wrestling team broke out on Sunday, January 27, defeating University of Maryland by a final score of 28-12. Michigan State won five bouts by way of bonus points en route to their second Big Ten victory of the season.
Â
With a win on Sunday the Spartans improved to 5-6 overall on the year with a 2-4 mark in Big Ten action. This is best Big Ten record for MSU since the 2009 season in which they defeated Michigan and Purdue.
Â
Starting at 125 pounds, sophomore and No. 7-ranked Rayvon Foley got the Spartans off on the right foot earning a 17-2 tech fall over Maryland's Brandon Cray. Foley improved his season record to 24-1 overall and 10-0 in duals with his seventh tech fall of the year.
Redshirt senior Anthony Tutolo earned a much needed victory at 133 pounds, winning by fall (4:30) over Orion Anderson to give the Spartans an 11-0 advantage through two weight classes.
Maryland took two straight at 141 and 149 pounds, but redshirt sophomore Jake Tucker broke that streak with an 8-4 decision at 157 pounds. Tucker led 5-4 in the third period, but a late reversal and riding time added to his lead.
The Spartans added more bonus points at 174 pounds as redshirt sophomore Drew Hughes picked up a first period fall (1:26) to lead Maryland, 20-9. Hughes is now 19-8 on the season with a 7-4 dual record. Redshirt freshman Cameron Caffey locked up the dual for MSU with a 16-4 major decision at 184 pounds to give the Spartans a 24-9 lead. The No. 20-ranked Caffey improved his season record to 21-3 with an 8-3 record in duals with a pair of wins this weekend.
Redshirt freshman Brad Wilton was the final winner of the afternoon for Michigan State, picking up a 13-3 major decision over Niko Cappello.Â
