SHU Sweeps Dual Matches on Sunday

Seton Hill hosted a pair of dual matches on Super Bowl Sunday as they hosted East Stroudsburg in PSAC action and then West Liberty in a non conference dual.  The Griffins were super in the dual matches as they defeated East Stroudsburg by the score of 36-11 and then defeated West Liberty by the score of 29-12.  SHU is now 13-3 on the season.  The 13 dual match wins are the most in program history, topping the 12 in the 2014-15 season.

The Griffins opened with five straight wins to open the East Stroudsburg match.  Vincent Distefanis opened the match with a 6-0 win by decision at 125 pounds.  Rodney Sunday followed with a win by pinfall just 2:16 into his match at 133 pounds, giving SHU an early 9-0 lead.  Joel Cawoski followed with a win by fall of his own at 141 pounds.  Cawoski earned his pin 52 seconds into the third period.

Austin Shaw increased the Griffins lead to 18-0 after four matches with a 7-5 decision win at 149 pounds.  Logan McKoy followed with a 16-5 major decision win at 157 pounds to push the Griffins lead to 22-0.  

After a SHU forfeit, Damon Greenwald got the third fall of the match for the Griffins with a pin with 44 seconds remaining in his 174 pound match.  Jacob Temple won by tech fall (17-1 5:46) at 197 pounds and Jody Crouse ended the match in style with a hard fought 8-2 decision win at 285 pounds.

Distefanis opened the West Liberty match with a win by forfeit.  Sunday battled #1 ranked Darius Bunch but dropped an 8-3 decision at 133 pounds.  Alan Diltz got the Griffins back in the win column with a win by fall with 14 seconds remaining in his 141 pound match.  SHU led 12-3 after three matches. 

The Hilltoppers won 3-2 at 149 pounds before the Griffins ran off four straight wins.  McKoy won 6-2 at 157 pounds and Zach Voytek picked up a 11-2 major decision win at 165 pounds to give the Griffins a 19-6 lead.  Austin Shaw earned a forfeit win at 174 pounds and Greenwald closed out the wins for the Griffins with a major decision 21-7 win at 184 pounds.
