After honoring Carlton Haselrig for his induction into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, the third-ranked Mountain Cat wrestlers came out and got falls from Travis Shaffer (149 lbs.), Tyler Reinhart (165 lbs.), and second-ranked Travis McKillop in a 44-0 shutout over PSAC rival Millersville University, Friday night in the Sports Center.  Pitt-Johnstown improved to 13-1 overall and 5-0 in the PSAC.
 
A 7-2 decision by sixth-ranked Evan Link at 125 lbs. over Connor Sheehan, and a 12-3 major decision by Nick Roberts over Region No. 6 Alex Bader at 133 lbs. put the Mountain Cats up 7-0 to start.
 
Pitt-Johnstown won the next two in a big way.  At 141 lbs., eighth-ranked Sam Hanau built a 14-0 lead after one period and secured the 20-2 technical fall at 5:00 over Thomas Nulty.  Shaffer then pinned Nick Haegle at 2:00 in the 149-lb. bout to increase it to 18-0.
 
The Mountain Cats kept it going with Devin Austin's 4-0 decision over D.J. Mele at 157 lbs., before Reinhart pinned Seth Decker in just 57 seconds to make it 28-0.
 
John Blankenship scored a 9-0 major decision over Nick Mancini at 174 lbs., and McKillop made quick work of Kyle Norber, pinning him in just 52 seconds.
 
Leading 37-0 with two bouts remaining, The Mountain Cats closed it out with two more wins.  At 197 lbs., Jacob Hart earned a 9-2 decision over Colton Dull, and third-ranked D.J. Sims ended it and set the final at 44-0 with a 14-5 major decision over David Wuestner at 285 lbs.
 
With the loss, Millersville had its four-match winning streak snapped and fell to 6-6 overall and 1-5 in the PSAC.
 
Last fall, The National Wrestling Hall of Fame Board of Governors announced former Pitt-Johnstown wrestler and six-time NCAA National Champion Carlton Haselrig, along with seven others, will be inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.  The induction ceremony will be held at the 40th Anniversary Honors Weekend on June 3-4 in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
 
Haselrig wrestled as a heavyweight at Pitt-Johnstown and holds the distinction of being the only wrestler to win six NCAA Championships, three titles in Division I and three in Division II.  He never lost a match at the NCAA Tournament (15-0), and he never lost or tied a match in Division II. Haselrig finished with a career record of 143-2-1, including an NCAA record of 122 consecutive matches without a loss. He was named to the NCAA 75^th Anniversary Wrestling Team in 2005.
 
While in high school, he competed in freestyle wrestling competitions during the summer because his high school did not have a wrestling program. Before his senior year, the Greater Johnstown School Board gave him permission to represent Johnstown High School as an independent one-man team. He went 10-0 and won the state championship.
 
Despite not playing football in college, Haselrig was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 12th round of the 1989 National Football League Draft. He played four seasons for the Steelers, being selected to the Pro Bowl in 1992, and one season with the New York Jets.  He trained mixed martial arts fighters and wrestlers at Cold Steel MMA & Wrestling in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, before becoming a varsity assistant coach for football and wrestling at Greater Johnstown High School.
 
The National Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum, America's shrine to the sport of wrestling, the National Wrestling Hall of Fame & Museum, was founded as a nonprofit organization in 1976 to honor the sport of wrestling, preserve its history, recognize extraordinary individual achievements, and inspire future generations.
 

Pitt-Johnstown travels to Shippensburg University for a PSAC match on Tuesday, before closing out the regular season with a Senior Night conference match against No. 7 Mercyhurst University on Saturday at 7 p.m. in the Sports Center.
