Edinboro Opens EWL Duals with Impressive 31-6 Win over Clarion

EDINBORO, Pa. – After facing a tough early season schedule that left them with losses against nationally-ranked opponents in their first three duals, the Edinboro wrestling team took out their frustrations against Clarion on Monday night. Wrestling for the final time in 2016, and in their Eastern Wrestling League opener, the Fighting Scots won eight of ten matches to claim a 31-6 victory in front of 833 fans at McComb Fieldhouse. Edinboro is now 1-3 overall and 1-0 in the EWL, while Clarion is 0-4 and 0-1, respectively.
 
Edinboro picked up bonus point wins at three weight classes, along with an upset at 165 lbs. Patricio Lugo, ranked seventh by InterMat at 149 lbs., pinned Mike Bartolo (7-9) at 4:51 to improve to 14-3. Chase Delande (9-8) followed with a fall at 3:59 over Taylor Cahill (10-11) at 156 lbs.

With Austin Matthews still out with an injury, Fritz Hoehn took the mat at 165 lbs. against Clarion's Evan DeLong (10-4). A week earlier, DeLong won the PSAC championship, and was named the Outstanding Wrestler in the process.  Hoehn would come away with a 5-4 win, with an escape to start the third period the difference. He opened a 2-1 lead after one period, and the two traded reversals in the second period, which ended tied at 4-4. A redshirt freshman, Hoehn is now 13-4.
 
The night got started with Edinboro winning at 125 and 133 lbs. Sean Russell, ranked 12th at 125 lbs., was impressive in a 12-4 major decision over Jake Gromacki (10-5). The redshirt sophomore boosted his record to 13-3 thanks to five takedowns, and almost three minutes in riding time.
 
Redshirt freshman Korbin Myers (14-5) followed with a 7-2 decision over Roshaun Cooley (9-9) at 133 lbs. Myers jumped out to a 5-2 lead after one period on the strength of a pair of takedowns.

Clarion got on the board with a win by 19th-ranked Brock Zacherl (10-3) at 141 lbs. It didn't come as easy as it first appeared, however, as freshman Ozzy Lugo (5-6) battled the national qualifier before dropping an 11-5 decision. Zacherl led 6-1 after one period, and the lead grew to 9-1 after two periods on an escape and two nearfall points. But Lugo battled back with a reversal and a takedown in the final two minutes.
 
Edinboro would run off wins in the next five matches to build the lead to 28-3. The final two came in rematches of PSAC championship bouts from last weekend. Ty Schoffstall won a 7-4 decision over Dom Rigous (7-4) at 174 lbs. to improve to 6-4. The redshirt junior recorded a pair of takedowns and owned 4:26 in riding time. He had won a 6-2 decision at PSAC's.
 
Freshman Dakota Geer ran his record to 13-3 with a 6-1 decision over Scott Marmoll at 184 lbs. That came after a 5-3 decision in the PSAC title match. After a scoreless first period, Geer took control with an escape and takedown in the second, then added a second takedown in the third period.
 
Clarion picked up its second win of the evening at 197 lbs., as Dustin Conti (6-4) won a 4-0 decision over Dylan Reynolds. Reynolds, another redshirt freshman in the lineup, is now 8-9.
 
Bill Miller wrapped up the evening with an impressive 10-3 decision over Evan Daley (7-8) at heavyweight. Ranked 19th by InterMat, the redshirt sophomore recorded a takedown in each of the first two periods, then added two more in the third while improving to 13-6.
 
The Fighting Scots have now won five straight duals against Clarion, and 18 of the last 19 meetings.
 
Edinboro will now break for the holidays before returning to another difficult part of their schedule, competing in the Southern Scuffle on January 1-2.
