MATCH NOTES
• Millersville hosts Kutztown Tuesday in the home finale. It will be the final time that seniors #J.J. Lester#, Jarrett Hostetter and Jeremy Brooks wrestle a dual at home. Hostetter, Lester and Brooks are three of four seniors on the roster. Phil Santee is the other senior but is not in the lineup Wednesday.
• Millersville continued to be slowed by injuries, forfeiting 133 and 141 pound weight classes in losses to Columbia and No. 18 Pittsburgh Saturday. The Marauders are now 3-10-1 overall and it is the fourth time in five years the Marauders have endured a dual campaign below .500.
• Several Marauders are having outstanding seasons, though. The 157-pound Hostetter is 17-5 and still has an outside chance to set the school's career wins record. He enters Wednesday with 94 victories, needing 16 more to tie Randy March's mark of 110. He ranks eighth on the career wins list.
• Shane Smith leads the team with 18 victories, 11 of which have come by fall. Smith is looking to become just the third wrestler in school history to post two 30-win seasons. Randy March (1980-81, 1981-82) and Tom Barley (1990-91, 1991-92) are the other two wrestlers.
• For the first time since Jan. 4, Millersville will have the 165-pound Brooks in the lineup. The senior has battled a variety of injuries all season and is just 5-5 following an NCAA Championships appearance in 2008-09. Not wrestling at 100 percent, Brooks has been without a win since Dec. 5.
