WARRIOR WRESTLING OPENS SEASON WITH WIN OVER BUCKNELL

LEWISBURG, PA – The Lycoming College wrestling team kicked off the 2001-2002 campaign with a dual meet at Bucknell University. The Warriors won five of the ten matches to claim a slim 22-19 victory.

Freshman Al Fluman (Gettysburg, PA; Gettysburg) was Lycoming’s top performer recording an 11-3 major decision at heavyweight. Jeremy Adams (So./Clearfield, PA; Clearfield) and Matt Hoffman (So./Sunbury, PA; Shamokin) each added decisions at 149 and 133 pounds respectively. Freshmen Derek Crane (Elizabethtown, PA; Notre Dame) and Andy Squires (Clearfield, PA; Clearfield) each accepted forfeits for the Warriors and what proved to be valuable points. Crane was in the lineup at 165 and Squires tipped the scales at 141.

“We won ugly tonight,” said Lycoming Head Coach Roger Crebs. “It made it clear how much work we have to do. But it is very early, so we’re glad to get the win, we’ll learn from the experience and we’ll work hard at getting better.”

Lycoming’s grapplers will be in action again next weekend when they travel to the Ithaca College Tournament.
