MMA Wrestling Reborn

With a winning coach, the wrestling program is ready for a reboot.

On an April afternoon, everyone in the back of the field house grappled with all five of their senses.

  1. There was the distinct smell of mat sanitizer…
  2. The loud screech of Dollamur mat tape uncoiling from the roll…
  3. The 15 student wrestlers participating were definitely feeling some pain and soreness as they went through their paces…
  4. Seeing so many young wrestlers was hard to believe, given that MMA’s rekindled wrestling program was only days old.
  5. It was a taste of what is to come.

After a few decades on the shelf, the wrestling program at Maine Maritime is ready for a reboot. The 2017-2018 season has already past, so this first practice was a chance for the newest club sport to dust off some cobwebs and build a bit of excitement for next year.

Tailgater on the Road

The MMA Alumni Association and Bay State Alumni group invite area alumni to join them at the annual Admiral’s Cup football game between our Maine Maritime Academy Mariners and the Massachusetts Maritime Academy Buccaneers at Buzzard’s Bay, Massachusetts on Saturday, September 15, 2018, during their Homecoming weekend.

The Office of Alumni Relations has reserved a convenient spot for gathering and game viewing. We had a tremendous turnout two years ago for this event, and an exciting last-minute victory.  More details to come.

Save the Date

Ship receptions, Homecoming, class reunions, the International WorkBoat Show, the Senior Banquet–-these are just a few of the annual events that are organized by the Alumni Relations Office with the help of alumni.
