LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Four Dragons secured wins as the Drexel wrestling team ultimately fell to Little Rock Monday night, 20-13. Anthony Santaniello (149lbs), Jasiah Queen (174lbs), Ethan Wilson (184lbs) and Nate Schon (285lbs) each picked up wins in the Dragons second dual of the season. Drexel drops to 0-2 on the season.
No. 24 Santaniello earned his first dual victory as a Dragon, defeating No. 30 Kyrel Leavell at 149 pounds. The senior got off to a fast start, recording two takedowns in the opening period to take a 7-5 lead. Leavell made it even at 8-8 in the third period before Santaniello managed to get the reversal on way to a 12-10 decision.
No. 24 Jasiah Queen cruised to his first dual win of the campaign, defeating Gunner Holland by major decision. The Elizabeth, N.J., native added four takedowns in the bout, fighting off a late attack to get the 13-3 win.
The Dragons picked up back-to-back victories as Ethan Wilson earned a win at 184 pounds. Wilson took the lead with a late takedown in the second period and added another in the third, nearly getting bonus points.
No. 16/20 Nate Schon closed out the night for the Dragons in the final bout, earning an overtime victory over Kaden Darwin. The heavyweight secured the winning takedown in the extra period to avoid the upset.
The Dragons return south for tournament action on Sunday at the Appalachian State Invitational in Boone, N.C.
