In their final regular season matches before the 2023 Centennial Conference Wrestling Championships next Saturday, Feb. 11, the Green Terror (9-9, 2-2 CC) jumped out to a 22-10 lead against the Mariners before holding on for a three-point victory in the opener, 22-19.

Bromley picked up his second tech fall of the season at 184 pounds with a commanding 21-2 victory over Daryl Cowley to give McDaniel its 12-point lead. However, Merchant Marine almost pulled the upset after junior Jaedyn Harris suffered just his fifth loss of the season in 27 matches at 197 pounds and Reid Garrison recorded a first period pin at 285.
 
The Mariners (6-7, 2-3 CC) led 7-6 before wins by Monn at 149 pounds and sophomore Xavier Howard at 157 gave the Green Terror the lead for good as they won four of the next five.

Against the host Mules, McDaniel fell behind 7-0 and 17-12 as Muhlenberg won five of the first seven matches. Back-to-back pins by Monn and sophomore Joe McKneely put the visitors ahead 12-7, but the hosts reeled off three-straight decisions, including a major decision at 174 to go back in front by five.

Bromley and Harris each picked up victories at 184 and 197, respectively, as the lead changed for the third time, but Ben Krauss recorded a first period fall at 285 to give Muhlenberg (13-11, 3-2 CC) its fifth consecutive home win.

Monn remained unbeaten at 27-0 this season, including 16-0 in dual matches while Bromley improved to 26-5 overall and 14-1 at 184 pounds.
