SEAN SOLIS NAMED WRESTLER TO WATCH
After earning NCAA All-American status last season, Sean Solis was named the University of Mary Wrestler to Watch by the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference. Solis took third at 141 pounds in the 2025 NCAA Wrestling Championships. The Long Beach, CA, native lost his first match at nationals before rallying back to win his next five matches to earn bronze. Solis defeated Joseph Airola (Neb.-Kearney) in an impressive 12-7 decision in his third-place match.

MARAUDERS PROJECTED TO FINISH 4TH IN THE NSIC
The Marauders are projected to finish fourth in the 2025-26 NSIC Wrestling Preseason Coaches' Poll. UMary has three All-Americans returning to their roster in Solis, Kaden Renner, and Luke Tweeton. Renner became an All-American at 157 pounds last season when he took seventh at Nationals. Tweeton is a three-time NCAA qualifier at heavyweight and claimed All-American status in 2024 when he finished 8th.

"What excites me most about this year's team is the energy and mindset our guys bring every day. We've got a young, gritty, and hungry group that's willing to put in the work and embrace the grind. I truly believe this team has taken a step forward, and we're in a stronger position this season than we were last year," head coach Adam Aho said.
