WORCESTER, Mass.--On Saturday, the Maine Maritime Academy men's wrestling team traveled here to compete against host Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Wesleyan University in a tri-match at the WPI Sports & Recreation Center. The Mariners fell to the Engineers, 54-3, but no team score is available yet with the Cardinals.

Freshman Kyle Stickel led the way for Maine Maritime with a pair of wins including his 174-pound bout over WPI's John-Michael Economos, a 17-11 decision. Stickel also won an exhibition match against Gavin Luciano of WPI with a fall in 4 minutes and 56 seconds.
