MILLERSVILLE, Pa. – The Millersville Marauders wrestling team has won five of the last six dual meets it has competed in and return to PSAC action on Saturday, January 25 against No. 17 East Stroudsburg. The last time Millersville wrestled a conference dual meet was against Gannon University back on Dec. 7, 2019. The Ville's five dual meet victories in 2019-2020 has already surpassed last season's total of four.

The youthful Marauders lineup has continued to improve, with six wrestlers (Brandon Connor, Jackson Erb, Devin Flannery, Ryan McGuire, Josh Walls, and Caleb Warner) earning ten or more victories. Seven Marauder wrestlers achieved that feat during the entire 2019-2020 season.
