WARRIOR WRESTLING SQUAD PICKS UP THREE WINS AT YORK

YORK, Pa. – The Lycoming College wrestling team traveled to York College, Saturday afternoon, for a quad meet along with Hunter and Muhlenberg colleges. The Warriors returned home with three victories, winning all three dual meets by comfortable margins. Lycoming topped Muhlenberg, 33-9, in their first bout, then defeated Hunter, 48-3, before recording a 34-6 win over York to wrap up their day. The Warriors are now 17-4 overall this season.

Lycoming was led by a trio of wrestlers who not only went a perfect 3-0 on the afternoon, but also picked up three pins each. Mike Waldron (So./Williamsport, PA; Loyalsock) wrestled at 133 and recorded his pins at 4:19 versus Muhlenberg, 0:45 versus Hunter, and 1:10 versus York. Jeff Tierney (Jr./Blairstown, NJ; North Warren Regional) competed at 184 pounds. His pins came at 2:40, 3:30, and 3:35, respectively. Jon Neve (Jr./Norristown, PA; Germantown Academy) was the third Warrior to pin all his opponents. He wrestled at 197 pounds and tallied his pins at 1:15, 1:50, and 3:52.

T.J. Hunsberger (Fr./Moon Township, PA; Moon) and Andy Squires (Fr./Clearfield, PA; Clearfield) also went undefeated in the three matches for Lycoming. At 125 pounds, Hunsberger led off with a pin versus Muhlenberg, followed with a technical fall against Hunter, and finished with a 7-2 decision versus York. Squires wrestled at 141 pounds and won by decisions against Muhlenberg and York, while recording a pin versus his opponent from Hunter.

Andy Hull (So./Mill Hall, PA; Bald Eagle Nittany) and Nate Jones (Jr./Houtzdale, PA; Moshannon Valley) combined to go a perfect 3-0 at 174 pounds. Hull picked up victories against Hunter and York, including one pin. Jones notched the win versus Muhlenberg.

“We wrestled great today,” said Head Coach Roger Crebs. “Everybody wrestled extremely hard and we had some opportunities to score some bonus points that the guys really capitalized on. It’s great to go home with three wins and carry that momentum into our conference matches next week. We’re pleased with where we are right now and we look forward to working hard over the next two weeks to get ready for the MACs.”
