Wrestling

#13 Wrestlers Roll Over Millersville, 40-4

Johnstown, Pa.

Fourth-ranked Dave Fogle opened the match with a first period fall, and the 13th-ranked Mountain Cat wrestlers never looked back in a 40-4 victory over Millersville University, Saturday morning in the Sports Center.  Pitt-Johnstown increased its winning streak to seven straight matches and improved to 9-1 overall and 3-1 in the PSAC.
 
A fall by fourth ranked Dave Fogle at 2:06 over Austin Camacci to open the match, followed by Luke Palamides' 10-1 major decision over Kyle Loeb at 133 lbs., staked the Mountain Cats out to a 10-0 lead.
 
Millersville came back with a major decision win of its own at 141 lbs. to cut it to 10-4 when David Charles dealt Craig Dawson a 10-0 setback.
 
However, that's as close as the Marauders would get.  The Mountain Cats went on to win the final seven bouts to secure the lopsided victory.
 
At 149 lbs., Sam Hanau pinned Donald Minnier at 4:08, before Cole Landowski (157 lbs.), eighth-ranked Gary Lantz, and Nikos Garafola (174 lbs.) all won by decision to extend the Pitt-Johnstown lead to 25-4.
 
Second-ranked Travis McKillop (184 lbs.) and Zac Bennett (197 lbs.) each won by first period fall to make it 37-4.  McKillop pinned Shane Gilmore at 1:43, and Bennett pinned Aram Moffitt at 1:48.
 
Josh Duplin closed out the match with a 7-0 decision over Elijah Fisher at 285 lbs. to set the final at 40-4.
 
With the loss, Millersville dropped to 3-5 overall and 2-3 in the PSAC.
 
Pitt-Johnstown travels to Lake Erie on Tuesday, before hosting Wheeling Jesuit (WV) University on January 31 and Gannon University on February 8.  Both Home matches will start at 7 p.m. in the Sports Center.
