After Maryland wrestling mounted a 13-point comeback, its dual against Indiana was tied 16-16 going into the final match.
The two heavyweights would be the deciding factor in which team received its first Big Ten conference win of the season.
But Terp Parker Robinson fell just short of the feat as he lost 8-3 against Indiana’s Rudy Streck — the Hoosier’s first dual win of the season — in a 19-16 defeat for Maryland.
Down 13 points going into the final match before intermission, Maryland lacked all momentum after its first four individual losses. But Jahi Jones lit up the stands as he won a close 3-2 battle over Fernie Silva in the 157-pound bout, sending the Terps into intermission with some hope for a comeback over the Hoosiers.
