COLLEGE PARK, Md. – The Wisconsin wrestling team rebounded from Friday's 34-6 loss to No. 10 Ohio State with a dominant win of its own on Sunday, as the Badgers pounded Maryland, 25-12, at the XFINITY Center.
 
Seven of 10 Wisconsin wrestlers scored first in their match, as each picked up wins.
 
Andrew Crone set the tone for the rest of the dual with his fifth-consecutive victory—a 5-3 result over Wade Hodges in the 149-pound match.
 
At 157 pounds, Louis Mascola knotted the dual at three points apiece by fending off TJ Ruschell's third-period comeback to win 10-7, but Isaac Jordan regained the lead for UW in the 165-pound grapple.
 
The third-ranked wrestler got out to a 5-0 lead in the second period over Tyler Manion before recording his fourth pin of the year at the 3:36 mark.
 
With the result, Jordan is now a perfect 20-0 in 2015-16 and owns a winning streak of 21-straight matches which dates back to last season.
 
In the 174-pound matchup, Ricky Robertson met Derrick Evanovich.
 
Only one period featured scoring, as Robertson picked up an escape and a takedown in the second to shutout his opponent, 3-0.
 
The 184-pound battle was another low-scoring affair with Ryan Christensen beating Jaron Smith, 5-2.
 
Christensen went for a takedown in the first period, followed by a reversal in the second and topped it off with a riding time point following the match's completion to earn his 14th win.
 
Eric Peissig snapped a six-match losing streak with a victory over Garrett Wesneski in the 197-pound bout.
 
The Badgers competitor did all of his scoring in the second period, registering two escapes and a takedown compared to Wesneski's penalty point and reversal.
 
Despite surrendering an escape in the third which knotted the score at four apiece, Peissig amassed enough time on top throughout the match to earn a riding time point and seal a 5-4 triumph.
 
Brock Horwath shut out his opponent, Youssif Hemida, in the heavyweight match, scoring an escape, a four-point near fall, two takedowns and a riding time point.
 
The 10-0 result marked Horwath's second major decision win of the season.
 
Johnny Jimenez snagged his 13th victory, defeating Michael Beck, 7-2.
 
Wisconsin's 125-pounder entered the third period with a 3-0 lead. Beck notched a takedown to narrow Jimenez's lead to just one point but the St. Charles, Illinois, native responded with an escape, a takedown and a riding time point to seal the deal.
 
In the only matchup featuring two ranked opponents, No. 7 Ryan Taylor was barely beat by No. 16 Geoffrey Alexander at 133 pounds.
 
Alexander got out to a 7-1 lead through two periods but Taylor fought back.
 
He went for two takedowns and an escape in the third compared to his foe's escape but the comeback was not enough, as Alexander won, 8-6.
 
All four of Taylor's losses this season have come at the hands of a ranked opponent.
 
The dual was capped with Billy Rappo pinning Luke Rowh at the 6:05 mark of the 141-pound match.
 
Next up, Wisconsin will compete in its third-straight dual away from Madison on February 18 at Central Michigan. The event is set to begin at 6 p.m.
