GETTYSBURG, Pa. - An 8-2 decision by senior Jaedyn Harris at 197 pounds secured a one-point Centennial Conference road win for the McDaniel College men's wrestling team at Gettysburg Friday night, 21-20.

The Green Terror (9-5, 2-1 CC) matched their win total from a season ago and are one win shy of their third 10-win season in the last five.

The match featured two ties and two lead changes with neither team holding a lead larger than six points. With McDaniel holding a one-point lead after a win by the Bullets at 184 pounds, Harris posted his 19th win of the season with a decision at 197, improving his dual match record to 12-1. He was ranked ninth in the nation in the Friday's National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) rankings.

The win put the Green Terror in front by four headed into the final match at 285 where only a tech fall or pin would have given Gettysburg (2-5, 0-2 CC) its first conference victory. However, Simon Taylor was only able to secure a 10-3 decision over freshman Kaden Bryan allowing the visitors to edge out the one-point win.

The Bullets won two of the first three matches by fall at 133 and major decision and 141 to take the largest lead of the night, 10-4. Sophomore Romeo Tsai opened the match with a win at 125, earning his 20th win of the season and his fifth by major decision.

Sophomore Thomas Monn, also ranked ninth by the NWCA, picked up his 24th win of the season and his 12th by fall with a second period pin at 149 to tie the match at 10-10 before junior Xavier Howard, ranked third in the Mideast Region, regained the lead for McDaniel with a 13-3 major decision over Gavin Pascoe who is ranked sixth in the Southeast Region.

After Gettysburg tied the match for the second time at 14-14, graduate student Dalton Pearl picked up his eighth major decision of the season at 174 pounds, 16-4.

The Green Terror have a week off before returning to action next Saturday, Feb. 3 with a Centennial Conference tri-match at Ursinus against the Bears and Merchant Marine.
