PRINCETON, N.J. – The Drexel wrestling team won four times in a 22-16 defeat at No. 14 Princeton on Saturday afternoon. Ebed Jarrell, Michael O'Malley, Sean O'Malley and Parker Kropman were all victorious on the Tigers' mat.

Drexel (6-10) took three of the first five matchups against the Tigers (7-4).

No. 18 Jarrell started off the day with a 6-1 decision victory over Grant Cuomo at 165 pounds. The East Greenwich, R.I. collected his 16^th win of the season and the 73^rd of his career, stretching his winning streak to five straight in the process.

Michael O'Malley, ranked 27^th at 174 pounds, wasted little time in securing maximum points for the Dragons. The redshirt-freshman worked a quick takedown and turned Kevin Parker for four back points. With a 6-0 lead near the midway point of the first, O'Malley turned Parker again and pinned his shoulders to the mat for his 15^th win of the season. Of those 15 wins, 11 have been of the bonus-point variety.

The Tigers leveled the dual at 9-9 with a major decision at 184 pounds and a technical fall at 197.

Sean O'Malley followed in his younger brother's footsteps with a bonus-point win at heavyweight. The elder O'Malley was dominant throughout with a pair of takedowns, one reversal and over five minutes of riding time.

Princeton pulled to within a point of the Dragons with a decision at 125 then went ahead for good with a close, 6-4 win at 133 pounds. The Tigers won their third-straight by decision at 141 before scoring a major at 149.

No. 33 Kropman ended the dual with a 6-4 win over Jake Marsh at 157 pounds. Kropman scored first on a takedown in the first period and never trailed. Starting the second in the down position, the Rochester, N.Y. native escaped then took down Marsh to go ahead 6-3. Kropman could not ride out Marsh in the third but limited him to just the one escape point.
