2/4/2011 9:03:37 PM | Wrestling

Philadelphia – Drexel fell to Boston 21-15 in a Colonial Athletic Association match at the Daskalakis Athletic Center tonight. The Dragons were only able to pick up four of the 10 bouts including an exhilarating first round pin by Drexel's Josh Yurasits at 141 pounds in the night's final match-up. Unfortunately it was not enough for the Dragons to overcome six Terrier victories.

Sophomore Joe Booth picked up his team-leading 19th win with a 3-1 decision. Booth earned the win when, in the first overtime period, he picked up a sudden victory take down over Boston's Kyle Czarnecki at 165 pounds. Booth's win gave Drexel the 6-4 lead just three matches in; it was the final time the Dragons would hold the upper hand.

Drexel continues action tomorrow at noon when they host Brown University in the Dragons second to last home match of the season. Check back tomorrow for a full weekend update and results.
