Philadelphia, Pa. – The Drexel Wrestling team defeated Franklin & Marshall, 25-11, on Saturday night for their third straight victory and second of the weekend. With the win, the Dragons improve to 7-13 overall and 1-4 EIWA while the Diplomats move to 5-6, 1-3.
Tanner Shoap got the Dragons on the board first with a 4-0 decision over Franklin & Marshall's Jason Bing. Kevin Devoy Jr bumped the Drexel lead up to 9-0 by earning a pin at 133 with 26 seconds to go in the first period. The Diplomats took a major decision at 141 that made the score 9-4. Noel Blanco retaliated at 149 with a 3-2 decision that increased the Dragons' lead up to 12-4.
The Diplomats fought back again and picked up a major decision at 157 to come within four team points of Drexel. However, Jason Fugiel's 9-2 decision at 165, Kevin Matyas' 2-1 win at 174, and Bryan Sternlieb's 6-0 victory at 184 secured a deficit the Diplomats could not overcome. Brandon Palik finished out the Dragons' late 4-0 run with a strong 22-8 major decision, putting Drexel on top, 25-8. Franklin & Marshall picked up three more team points with a decision at 285, but it was not enough to surpass the Dragons.
Drexel Wrestling returns to action on Friday, February 21 as they travel to New Brunswick, N.J. to take on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Matches will begin at 7:00 p.m.
