Morgan State Notes

• The Morgan State wrestling team is in the middle of its second season after the program was reinstated in 2023 following a hiatus of 26 years. Morgan State University is the only school among the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) to have a Division I wrestling program.
• The Bears, who are in their first season as a member of the EIWA, have won four of their 15 duals in 2024-25. Those victories have come against Marymount 40-10, Nassau Community College 46-11, Davidson 26-13 and Johns Hopkins 37-12.
• Xavier Doolin ranks No. 6 in the latest EIWA rankings at 285 lbs. The heavyweight, who is the only Morgan State wrestler with at least 10 wins this season, transferred to Morgan State from Northern Colorado, where he won 19 matches from 2022-24.
• Sincere Bailey is expected to make his debut for Morgan State on Friday. Bailey previously wrestled at North Carolina from 2021-23.
