Wrestlers Go 2-0 at Kutztown Duals

The Griffin wrestlers headed east for the Kutztown Duals this weekend.  They opened the duals with a pair of matches on Friday evening.  SHU was able to defeat UNC-Pembroke 23-20 and then knocked off American International 44-9 in the nightcap.  SHU improved to 9-2 in dual matches on the season.

Seton Hill opened the Pembroke match with three straight victories.  Vincent Distefanis gave the Griffins an early 3-0 lead with a 9-5 decision win at 125 pounds.  Rodney Sunday extended the lead to 9-0 with a quick win by fall (1:14) in the 133 pound match.  Joel Cawoski followed Sunday with a win by fall (2:35) of his own to push the Griffins to a 15-0 lead after three matches.

UNC-Pembroke then ran off five straight wins in the middle weights to take a 20-15 lead over the Griffins.

Jacob Temple tied the match at 20 with a 16-0 tech fall win at 197 pounds.  Jody Crouse won the match for the Griffins with an exciting 3-1 overtime victory at 285 pounds.
