FAIRFIELD, Conn. - The Drexel wrestling team earned a 36-9 victory over EIWA opponent Sacred Heart on Friday night. The Dragons won eight out of 10 matches on their way to their third victory of the season.

Tanner Shoap started the night out with a pin two minutes into his match against Tim Johnson at 125. Kevin Devoy Jr. followed with another pin at 133 and David Pearce added a technical fall at 141 to give the Dragons an early 17-0 advantage. Matthew Cimato picked a 10-6 decision over Alex Harnsberger at 149, and then Mike Comunale and Austin Rose added decisions of their own at 157 and 165, respectively. Nick Elmer added a major decision at 174 to give Drexel a 30-0 lead with just three matches to go.

The Pioneers were able to get on the board with a decision from Elliott Antler at 184 and then with a pin from Sasha Oliinyk at 197 to make it 30-9, but then Joey Goodhart finished off the night with a win-by-fall over John Hartnett in the heavyweight match. This gave the Dragons a 36-9 victory and their third win in the same number of outings.

The Dragons will return to action on Sunday as they will travel to face Army West Point in West Point, N.Y. The dual is set to begin at 2 p.m.
