MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - The Drexel wrestling team earned its first dual win of the season with a 21-15 victory over Campbell on Sunday at the Mountaineer Duals hosted by West Virginia. The Dragons won one of the three duals of which they participated in the quad, falling to the hosting Mountaineers, 26-7 and to Arizona State, 27-6 in the other two. No. 17 Matthew Cimato led the Dragons with three wins on the day, including a major decision against West Virginia's Jake S. Smith.
In the first dual of the day, the Dragons went down 6-0 to start but then No. 10 Kevin Devoy Jr. got Drexel on the board with an 8-3 decision in the 141 match over West Virginia's Tony DeAngelo. Cimato then followed with his major decision at 149 to put the Dragons ahead, 7-6. Despite having this advantage almost halfway through the dual, the Mountaineers would win out the remaining matches to earn a 26-7 victory over the Dragons.
Arizona State jumped out to an early 10-0 lead in the Dragons' second dual, but then Cimato scored yet again for the Dragons with a 3-2 decision over the Sun Devils' Matt Kraus. Later, trailing 17-3, Nick Elmer got a win for Drexel with a 6-3 victory over Zachary Smith in the 174 pound match. At 184, Stephen Loiseau came close to upsetting the No. 3-ranked Blake Stauffer, but was edged by a 4-3 deficit. The Sun Devils would earn wins in the 197 and 285 matches as well to secure a 27-6 win.
While Campbell jumped out to a quick 9-0 advantage in the Dragons' final dual of the day, freshman Anthony Canfora started a comeback with his first career win, a 9-8 decision over the Camels' Zack Barker in the 141 match. Cimato followed with an 8-5 win over Quentin Perez at 149 and Richard Viruet added a 7-1 decision over Daniel Richardson at 157 to tie things up at 9-9. While Campbell's Paul Duggan took the 165 match with a 5-2 victory over Austin Rose, Nick Elmer, Loiseau, and Joshua Murphy combined for three major decisions in a row at 174, 184, and 197 respectively to ultimately secure Drexel's first victory of the season.
The Dragons return to action on Friday, Nov. 13 when they travel to California to take on Cal Poly in a dual scheduled for 7 p.m. (PST). Drexel will then compete in the Road Runner Open in Fresno, Calif. on Sunday, Nov. 15.
