Wrestling was instituted as a varsity sport in 1969 and had a 19-year existence before it was discontinued in 1988. Lack of an in-season conference affiliation and the difficulty of obtaining home meets were major problems. Nevertheless, the men who represented the University had a good record, winning 54% of their meets and were competitive with their opponents during most seasons.

RECOGNITION WELL DUE Maine’s wrestling program enjoyed two good seasons between 1983 and 1985 under the coaching of Nick Nicolich (right) with assistance from Bob McPhee. McPhee, confined to a wheel chair due to crippling injuries suffered in a high school football game, was an outstanding high school wrestler. As a reward, Nicolich is shown here presenting McPhee with a varsity “M” for his contributions and support of the team. The Black Bears won 23 of 29 matches during the two-year period.
