Vath Picks Up First Win Since 2016 in Boro Loss to Lock Haven

Tyler Vath won a 12-0 major decision at 149 lbs.
EDINBORO, Pa. – Edinboro saw its string of 16 straight wins over Lock Haven come to an end on Thursday night at McComb Fieldhouse, as the 24th-ranked Bald Eagles came away with a 30-10 win. Edinboro is now 2-7 and 1-4 in EWL action, while Lock Haven remained undefeated in the EWL at 3-0 while improving to 6-2 overall.
 
It was still a momentous night for the Fighting Scots, however. They would pick up wins in three matches, including the first win since 2016 for Tyler Vath. The redshirt junior had missed almost the last two seasons in their entirety due to injuries before returning to the mat last weekend.
 
He would lose in his return to the lineup at George Mason, but against Lock Haven he won an impressive 12-0 major decision over Jonathan Ross at 149 lbs. It marked Vath's first victory on the mat since November 6, 2016 in the Clarion Open.
 
Vath took the mat with Edinboro trailing 13-0. He jumped out to a 6-0 lead after one period with a takedown midway through the period, followed by four nearfall points. He would add six more points in the second period on the same sequence, a takedown and four for the nearfall. There was no scoring in the third period. Vath improved to 1-1 while Ross is 15-8.
   
Lock Haven ran off wins in the first three bouts, two by technical fall, to take a 13-0 lead. Arick Shankles gave Luke Werner a stern test at 125 lbs., with the match tied at 3-3 after one period, as both wrestlers registered a takedown and an escape. Werner had the lone points in the second period with a reversal, and would add points for stalling and riding time for a 7-3 decision. Shankles is now 3-11 while Werner improved to 24-9.
 
The Bald Eagles would capture the next two matches by technical fall, as DJ Fehlman (26-5) won 18-0 at 2:58 over Richie Gomez (11-21) at 133 lbs., and 20th-ranked Kyle Shoop (24-5) won 16-0 (1:59) at 141 lbs. over Carmine Ciotti (12-12).
 
Vath's victory got the Fighting Scots on the board and cut Lock Haven's lead to 13-4, but the Bald Eagles would follow with two more technical falls. At 157 lbs., Alex Klucker posted a 16-0 tech. fall at 6:24 over Matt Dowler. All-American and fifth-ranked Chance Marsteller (15-2) followed with a 19-4 tech. fall (6:01) at 165 lbs.
 
In the most anticipated match of the evening, Jacob Oliver improved his record to 24-4 while winning his fifth straight match with an 8-3 decision over Jared Siegrist (21-10). Oliver led 2-1 thanks to a takedown with just over a minute left in the period, with Siegrist escaping with 40 seconds left.
 
Siegrist would even the score at 2-02 with an escape early in the second period, but Oliver gained the 4-2 lead with his second takedown with 1:19 remaining in the second. Oliver escaped immediately to start the third, and added a third takedown for a 7-2 advantage. A Siegrist escape was balanced out by a riding time point for Oliver to wrap up the scoring.
 
The two previously met in the PSAC finals, with Oliver coming away with a 7-4 decision.
 
Zach Ancewicz (15-13) gave 18th-ranked Corey Hazel (8-2) a good battle at 184 lbs., dropping a 4-0 decision, with Hazel riding out the sophomore in the second period, then registering an escape and takedown in the third.  
 
Edinboro picked up its third win of the night at 197 lbs., with Dylan Reynolds recording his 50th career victory. More importantly, the redshirt junior improved to 26-9 on the season with a 5-1 decision over Parker McClellan (19-12).
 
Following a scoreless first period, Reynolds opened the scoring with an escape in the second period, followed by a takedown midway through the period. McClellan's escape was followed by a stalling point for Reynolds to make the score 4-1 after two periods. Reynolds added an escape in the third period.
 
Lock Haven would wrap up the evening with its fifth bonus-point win at heavyweight. Thomas Haines (15-3), ranked ninth, won a 12-0 major decision over Jon Spaulding (16-13).
 
Edinboro returns to action on Saturday in the 30th Annual Edinboro Open at the Mike S. Zafirovski Dome. The Fighting Scots will then host Oklahoma and former All-American and Boro assistant coach Lou Rosselli on Saturday, February 9.
