Philadelphia – Drexel held off Brown in a non-conference dual meet at the Daskalakis Athletic Center, 22-14 for Coach Jack Childs 421st Division I victory. Seven Dragons earned individual bout wins, including redshirt freshman Brandon Palik's 12-3 major decision over Brown's Brandon Shull at 197 pounds.
After giving up five team points at 125 pounds, Drexel picked up the next three in a row to take a 9-5 team lead. Sophomore Frank Cimato earned an 8-5 decision over Brown's Chortlandt Choate at 133 pounds followed by fellow Drexel sophomore Josh Yurasits and his 6-5 decision over Grant Overchashier at 141 pounds. Freshman Austin Sommer edged Guiseppi Lanzi 6-5 at 149 pounds to give the Dragons their 9-5 lead. It was Sommer's 15th win of the season.
Drexel gave the Bears their last touch of the lead when Brown's Pat LaBuz pinned John McDermott at 157 pounds. Sophomore Joe Booth and senior Justin Wieller put the Dragons ahead for good when, at 165 pounds, Booth earned the final 6-3 decision over Brown's Dave Foxen. Wieller, 174 pounds, continued to build on the lead with a close 3-2 decision over Jeff Lemmer which put Drexel ahead 15-11.
After a close 5-1 bout at 184 pounds in favor of Brown's Ziad Kharbush, Drexel won the last two match ups starting with Palik's major decision win at 197 pounds. The win marks Paliks second major and team-leading seventh bonus point win on the season. Sophomore Jack Callender topped things off at heavy weight with a dominate 6-1 decision over Brown's Tyler Cowman to give Drexel the final 22-14 win.
Drexel split dual matches this weekend with a close 22-15 loss to Boston on Friday night moving the Dragons to 7-14 overall. Drexel hits the road one last time this season as it travels to Rider University to take on the Broncs Wednesday, February 9th at 7:00 p.m. The match highlights the top two winningest coaches in Division I wrestling as Gary Taylor, 367 wins, welcomes Drexel's very own Jack Childs, 421 wins, to Alumni Gymnasium.
