No. 1-ranked Jacob Ealy won by fall at 149 lbs. over No. 8 Craig Cook, and 11th-ranked Dillon Keane (165 lbs.) knocked off sixth-ranked Brandon Connor and the seventh-ranked Pitt-Johnstown wrestlers improved to 9-0 overall and 2-0 in the PSAC with an impressive, 35-5, victory at No. 8 Millersville, Friday evening.
 
Trevon Gray's 13-3 major decision win over Bryce Beatty to open the match at 125 gave the Mountain Cats a, 4-0, lead, but Millersville answered to take the lead when No. 1-ranked Devin Flannery secured a 22-7 technical fall at 5:00 over Dajauhn Hertzog in the 133-lb. bout.
 
However, Caleb Morris dealt Timothy Uhler a 5-1 loss at 141 lbs. to give Pitt-Johnstown the lad back and start a streak of eight consecutive wins to close out the match for the Mountain Cats.
 
At 149 lbs., top-ranked Ealy built a 5-0 lead after two periods before pinning eighth-ranked Cook at 6:24, and No. 9 Nate Smith held off Jonathan Parrillo, 3-1, at 157 lbs. to give the Mountain Cats a 16-5 advantage.
 
Pitt-Johnstown kept rolling when Keane, ranked 11th at 165 lbs., dealt sixth-ranked Connor a 6-2 decision loss ahead of Alex Weber's, 9-1, major decision over Andrew Vogelbacher at 174 lbs. that increased it to 23-5.
 
Eighth-ranked Brock Biddle followed with a 15-0 technical fall at 3:09 over Braden Newby at 184 lbs., before the Mountain Cats wrapped things up with Dakoda Rodgers' 5-2 decision over Lucas Doyle at 197 lbs. and fifth-ranked Isaiah Vance's 8-0 major decision at 285 lbs. over Jordan Espinosa set the final at 35-5.
 
With the loss, the Marauders slipped to 6-3 overall and 2-1 in the PSAC.
 
Pitt-Johnstown will host a PSAC match against 14th-ranked Gannon on Wednesday and No. 16 Glenville State (WV) on Jan. 21.  Both home matches are scheduled to start at 7 p.m. in the Sports Center.
