Gray, TrevonGnibus, NoahIn the first ever meeting between the two programs, the fourth-ranked Pitt-Johnstown wrestlers used five falls in a lopsided, 44-7, victory of Felician (NJ) in Sunday's second round of the Fairmont State Duals in Fairmont, W.Va.  The Mountain Cats remained unbeaten and improved to 6-0.
 
Trevon Gray, the No.1 ranked wrestler in the country at 125 lbs., got Pitt-Johnstown going by pinning Marcus Lowry at 1:56.
 
Felician cut it to 7-4 with Brian Melamud's major decision win over Tyson Cook at 133 lbs., but back-to-back falls from Gideon Bracken at 141 lbs. and Braxton Rice at 149 lbs. started a streak that saw Pitt-Johnstown win seven of the final eight matches.  Bracken pinned Giovanni Scafaldi just :33 second into the opening period and Rice won by fall at 4:00 over Justin Fearon to push the lead out to 184.
 
Felician got a 4-1 sudden victory from No. 14 Eddie Terreri over Cooper Warshel in the bout at 157 to narrow it to 18-7, but the Mountain Cats finished strong with five consecutive wins.
 
After No. 18 Trent Hoover won a 10-7 decision at 165 lbs., 18th-ranked Ty Morrison picked-up a 20-4 technical fall win at 6:31 over Alexander Dorce to make it 26-7.
 
Pitt-Johnstown continued to pour it on with falls from No. 15 Noah Gnibus at 2:30 at 184 lbs., and No. 18 Brad Morrison at 2:17 at 197 lbs. before fourth-ranked Isiah Vance won by forfeit at 285 lbs. to set the final at 44-7.
