Second-ranked Jacob Ealy recorded one of three Pitt-Johnstown pins to notch his 99th career victory as the 11th-ranked Mountain Cats closed out Saturday's duals in the Sports Center with a 29-13 win over 16th-ranked Grand Valley State (MI).  Pitt-Johnstown, which went 3-0, improved to 8-2 on the season.
 
Grand Valley State got decision wins from eighth-ranked Aaron Lucio at 125 lbs., and Collin Twigg at 133 lbs. to open up a 6-0 lead, but the Mountain Cats stormed back.
 
At 141 lbs., Mason Myers pinned Jak Keller 1:12 into the first period to tie it, and Ealy followed by pinning Eran Marx at 1:16 at 149 lbs. to put Pitt-Johnstown in front, 12-6.
 
Copper Washel's 18-1 technical fall at 5:54 over Caden Jacobs at 157 lbs., and a 5-0 win from Dillon Keane over Trammel Robinson at 165 lbs., extended it to 20-6.
 
The Lakers got a 10-0 major decision win at 174 lbs. from third-ranked Josh Kenney to make it 20-10, but Noah Gnibus' 4-1 win at 184 lbs. quickly got three of those points back for the Mountain Cats.
 
After 13th-ranked Wyatt Miller defeated Pitt-Johnstown's seventh-ranked Dakoda Rodgers, 6-2, at 197 lbs., the Mountain Cats closed it out when third-ranked Isaiah Vance pinned Owen Hawley in just 36 second to.
 
The Mountain Cats will host a PSAC match against 14th-ranked Millersville on Friday at 7 p.m. in the Sports Center, before competing in the Shippensburg Duals on Jan. 20.
