Edinboro Wins Fifth Straight EWL Championship

Deonte Penn Named Outstanding Wrestler as Three Fighting Scots Win Titles

CLEVELAND, OH – After Saturday’s second session, Edinboro head coach Tim Flynn gave his Fighting Scots an earful. The veteran coach was not happy with the fact only four of Edinboro’s nine wrestlers in the 2007 Eastern Wrestling League Tournament semifinals advanced to the finals.

His team took his word to heart on Sunday, with the result a fifth straight EWL championship for the Fighting Scots. The last time a team won five titles in a row was 1982-92, when Penn State won 11 in a row.

Edinboro finished with three champions and a total of 113 points. West Virginia was second with 104.5 points, with Lock Haven third with 98 points. Pittsburgh edged Bloomsburg for fourth place, with the Panthers finishing with 95.5 points and the Huskies 94.5 points. Cleveland State (77.5 points) was sixth and Clarion (35) was seventh. Cleveland State hosted the event at Woodling Gym.

As important as having three of the four wrestlers in the finals was, Flynn noted that it was the wrestlers in the consolation bracket that actually gave Edinboro the title. “I challenged those guys last night,” Flynn related. “I got on them. We weren’t happy with how we wrestled yesterday. I told the wrestleback kids ‘you win the tournament for us’. We won the first five matches in the wrestlebacks. That set the tone.”

Deonte Penn, ranked eighth nationally, came away with plenty of hardware at the conclusion of the tournament. The senior was named the Tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler after winning the 165 lbs. crown with three straight falls. The total time of his pins were 8:51, and boosted him to 33-2 for the season. He also set the school record for season falls with his 19^th in the finals against Pittsburgh’s Sean Richmond. That match ended at 2:44. Penn was also recognized as the winner of the Most Points in EWL Duals award winner.

Penn will make his third trip to Nationals, and is now a two-time EWL champion. He previously won the championship at 149 lbs. in 2004. A year ago he earned All-American honors at 165 lbs. with a fourth place finish.

Gregor Gillespie joined Penn as a two-time champion, as the sophomore won for the second straight year at 149 lbs. He avenged an earlier loss to David Jauregui of West Virginia in the final with a 6-3 decision. That gives Gillespie, an All-American a year ago, to 29-2 for the season. He is ranked fifth by Amateur Wrestling News and sixth by InterMat,

Flynn credited Gillespie’s victory for getting Edinboro off on the right foot in the finals, as Edinboro pulled away from West Virginia for the team title. “That kind of took the pressure off of us,” Flynn commented. “It was a great win for Gregor. He needed to get that against a tough kid. He needed a tough bout and to dig deep. I think he’s back now.”

After Penn’s pin put the team title out of reach, Alex Clemsen took the mat at 184 lbs. and brought home his first EWL title. It will mark the senior’s fourth trip to Nationals, thanks to a 4-1 decision over Bloomsburg’s Nate Shirk. Clemsen had previously finished second as a sophomore and junior, along with a third place finish as a freshman. He is now 32-2, and ranked seventh by InterMat and tenth by Amateur Wrestling News.

Jim Gibson’s run at a championship finally came to an end as he suffered a 4-2 loss to West Virginia’s Jared Villers in the finals at 197 lbs.

In addition to the finalists, the Fighting Scots had two wrestlers finish third and three more fourth, as all five of Edinboro’s wrestlers in the consolation bracket reached the third place match. Daryl Cocozzo, a true freshman, placed third at 141 lbs., while Phil Moricone won by technical fall to taked third place at 174 lbs. Eric Morrill (125 lbs.), Matt Hill (157 lbs.), and Joe Fendone (hwt.) brought home fourth place finishes.

Edinboro’s four finalists earned trips to Nationals. The Fighting Scots were awaiting word on the wild card selections. The top two in each weight class plus 12 wild card selections comprise the EWL’s contingent of 32 national qualifiers.

Next up for the Fighting Scots is the NCAA Division I National Championships at Auburn Hills, MI on March 14-17. A year ago Edinboro enjoyed an incredible run and finished eighth, the third-highest finish in school history. The Fighting Scots are looking to cap another record-setting campaign. They finished with a 17-1 record, a school record for wins, and finished with an undefeated record in EWL duals for the second straight year. Edinboro was ranked sixth in the latest USA Today/InterMat/NWCA Coaches Poll, the highest ranking in school history.

Consolation Semifinals – won by decision over Ryan Riggs (CSU), 10-1

After a slow start, Morrill dominated the last two periods for the major decision and a berth in the third place match. Morill recorded the only points of the first period with the first of four takedown. In the second period came up with an escape and his second takedown. The third period began with another takedown, and after a quick escape by Riggs, Morrill put the match away with his final takedown with just over a minute to go. He ended with a 2:32 advantage in riding time while improving to 15-14.

Morrill had defeated Gentzle, 3-2, two weeks ago, but Gentzle captured the one-point win to finish third. The Panther took the lead with a takedown with just 18 seconds left in the first period. The only scoring in the second period was a Morrill escape. With riding time in hand, Morrill released Gentzle to start the third for a 3-1 lead. That lead went to 5-1 with a takedown with 35 seconds to go. Morrill would escape and moved closer with a takedown with three seconds to go. Morrill concludes his freshman season with a 15-15 record.

Consolation Semifinals – won by decision over Joe Ciampoli (UP), 9-0

The second of Edinboro’s freshman tandem moved into the third place match with the major decision. The match was tight until the final thirty seconds when Cocozzo, leading 2-0 at the time thanks to a first-period takedown, came up with an escape with 23 seconds left. That was followed by a takedown with five seconds to go, and three back points at the buzzer. The takedown also gave Cocozzo the riding time point for the 9-0 win. He is now 16-12.

Cocozzo made a case for a wild card berth with a third place finish to boost his record to 17-12. He opened the match with the first of three takedowns at the 2:19 mark of the first period. Cocozzo began in the down position for the second period, and reversed Kell for a 4-0 lead. A Kell escape made it 4-1, but Cocozzo countered with a takedown with 26 seconds left for a 6-1 advantage after two periods. Kell would score on an escape midway through the final period, but Cocozzo got a takedown with a second left and had 3:23 in riding time.

Gillespie made it two straight EWL championships with a hard-fought win over Jauregui. The win also avenged one of his two losses this season, as Jauregui had defeated Gillespie, 10-9, two weeks ago. Gillespie opened with a quick takedown for a 2-0 lead with 19 seconds gone in the match. Jauregui would escape a minute later, and then finished the period with a quick move for a single-leg takedown. There was no scoring in the second period, as Gillespie just missed on a takedown attempt at the edge of the mat midway through the period. The third period began with Gillespie in the down position, and gained the tying point for the escape 12 seconds into the period. He notched the winning takedown after a wild scramble with 55 seconds left in the match. A 1:23 advantage in riding time accounted for the final 6-3 decision. Gillespie makes his second trip to Nationals with a 29-2 record, and is now 69-6 for his career.

Consolation Semifinals – won by decision over Victer Crenshaw (CSU), 10-7

Battling a leg injury, Hill gutted out the win over Crenshaw in a battle of two 2006 national qualifiers. Crenshaw started the scoring with a takedown in the first forty seconds, but Hill countered with a reversal and nearly won by fall, coming up with three back points and the 5-2 lead. The first period ended with a Crenshaw escape making it 5-3. Hill had all the scoring in the second period, coming up with an escape, gaining a point for an illegal hold, and then his lone takedown of the bout for a 9-5 lead after two periods. Crenshaw chose the neutral position to start the third, and came up with a takedown with 1:14 remaining. He cut Hill, but could not come up with another takedown. Hill, ranked 12^th by Amateur Wrestling News and 14^th by InterMat, improves to 30-4 and 103-39 for his career.

Fryling got the better of Hill for the second time in two weeks with another tight match. He gained the lead with a takedown with 23 seconds left in the opening period. Fryling gave up the escape to Hill to start the second period, with no further scoring in the period. Hill needed to gain riding time in the third period with Fryling in the down position, but the Mountaineer escaped 27 seconds into the period. Fryling and Hill had a grueling meeting two weeks ago, with Fryling winning 3-2 in two tiebreakers. Hill is now 30-5 in 2006-07 and 103-40 in his career.

Penn made it three straight falls by a total time of 8:51 with another dominating outing. The whistle had barely blown to start the match and Penn was in on Richmond for a single-leg takedown. He rode Richmond the rest of the match, nearly rolling him for back points several times before finally getting him on his back. Seconds later it was over and Penn had his second EWL crown. He is now 33-2 and boosted his season total to 19 falls, a new season record, and 52 career falls. That is also the record at Edinboro. Penn has a 110-41 career record, tying Cory Ace for 15^th place in career wins. He also has now won his eighth straight match by fall, with the exception of a forfeit win against Pittsburgh, and enters Nationals riding a 24-match win streak.

Consolation Semifinals – won by decision over Andrew Jordan (BU), 4-0

Moricone won for the third time this season against Jordan with a dominating performance from the top position. The third-year sophomore came up with a takedown just 17 seconds into the match, then rode Jordan out the rest of the period. He escaped early in the second period, with neither wrestler able to come up with a takedown. With Jordan down in the third period, Moricone again rode him out for the entire period to finish with 4:34 in riding time and his final point. Moricone is now 23-9 and moves into the third place match.

Third Place– won by technical fall over Mike Metzger (LHU), 19-3 (5:40)

Moricone boosted his record to 24-9 by capturing third place in impressive fashion against Metzger. He dominated the match from the start, taking a 13-2 lead after just one period. After a takedown 22 seconds into the match, he registered a pair of three-point near-fall moves for an 8-0 advantage. Metzger reversed Moricone for two points, but the third-year sophomore had a quick escape and then registered his second takedown with 25 seconds left. He picked up two more back points at the buzzer. He added an escape and takedown in the second, with Metzger also picking up a point for an escape. The end came on a takedown forty seconds into the final period.

After finishing second twice and third another time, Clemsen picked up his first EWL crown with the win over Shirk. The two had met earlier in the year with Clemsen prevailing, 2-1. The first period was scoreless, and Shirk gained the lead with an scape to start the second period. Clemsen posted the only takedown he needed at the 1:24 mark. He opened the third with a quick escape, and gained a point with 1:23 in riding time for the decision. Clemsen ties Sean O’Day for tenth place in career wins with a 116-33 record. He is 32-2 for the season and will make his fourth trip to Nationals.

Gibson avenged an earlier 5-2 loss to Hahn to earn his first trip to Nationals. The senior is now 21-8 thanks to an impressive showing in the semifinals. He opened with a takedown with 51 seconds left, with a Hahn escape with five seconds to go making it 2-1 after one period. The lone scoring in the second period was an escape by Hahn, tying the score at 2-2. With Gibson owning riding time, Hahn let the Boro wrestler out to start the third. Gibson then cemented the win over the second seed with a takedown with three seconds showing. He added the riding time point.

Gibson’s run at EWL’s ended with a disappointing result against Villers. Gibson battled the defending EWL champion, but could not overcome a first period takedown. Villers registered the takedown at the 1:24 mark, with Gibson escaping to make it 2-1 after one period. Gibson knotted the match with an escape in the second period, but not before Villers had built up the required minute for riding time. Villers started the third period in the down position, and a quick escape made it 3-2. He would hold off several attempts by Gibson for takedowns, add a point for riding time, and come away with the win.

Fendone moved into the third place match after wearing down Hepburn for his eighth fall. The first period was scoreless. Hepburn chose down in the second period, and Fendone rode him the entire period, turning him twice for two and three near-fall moves. Fendone took the top to start the third, and again turned Hepburn twice to make it 9-0. He finally put him on his back for the fall at 6:25. Fendone is now 25-9.

In a rematch of a first round bout, Fendone lost for the first time in three meetings to Goff to finish in fourth place. The match was scoreless for the first two periods before Fendone put Gioff on his back for two back points early in the third period. Goff evened the match at 2-2 with 1:10 remaining with a reversal, and gained the winning point with a 2:26 advantage in riding time.

EDINBORO, PA – Edinboro University Director of Athletics Bruce Baumgartner has announced the appointment of former University of Iowa wrestling great Cliff Moore as assistant wrestling coach. Moore replaces Lou Rosselli, who accepted a similar position at Ohio State earlier this summer.

Moore worked the past two years with the Iowa program. After serving as the strength and conditioning coach in 2004-05, he was an administrative assistant a year ago.

Edinboro head coach Tim Flynn is thrilled to have his staff completed, and excited with what Moore will bring to the Fighting Scots. "We are all excited to have Cliff on board,” related Flynn. “He is exactly what you want in an assistant coach. He is an excellent role model for our kids. His work ethic is unbelievable, and obviously, he is a great wrestler! Cliff has what all of our kids want....an NCAA Championship! Cliff also has experience in the office to help with our many fundraisers,
recruiting and administratively! We could not be more pleased!"

After winning three state titles as a prepster at Hempstead (IA) High School, Moore joined the Iowa wrestling program in 1999. Over the next five years, he would win one national title and earn All-American status three times, in addition to claiming two Big Ten titles. The national championship came while competing at 141 lbs. as a senior in 2003-04. That capped a year in which he finished 33-2 after defeating Nebraska’s Matt Murray, 5-2, in the national title match. He recorded a team-leading six pins and was presented the Mike Howard Award as Iowa’s most valuable wrestler. Moore ended his career with twenty straight wins, including his second Big Ten title thanks to a 6-2 win over Doug Withstandley.

All told, Moore posted a 109-24 career record. After redshirting in 1999-2000, he was 17-3 in 2000-01 while competing at 133 lbs. In 2001-02, he took over as the starter at 133 lbs. and proceeded to earn All-American honors with a sixth place finish at Nationals. Moore ended the year with a 28-10 record, placing fifth at the Big Ten Championships. He won three tournament titles, including the Midlands Championships.

Moore captured Big Ten titles as a junior and senior. He gained another sixth place finish and All-American honors at Nationals in 2002-03, once again competing at 133 lbs. While ending the season with a 31-9 record, he captured his first Big Ten title with a 3-1 win over Minnesota’s Ryan Lewis in sudden victory. He was named the John and Dorothy Sill Award winner as Iowa’s most dedicated wrestler.

A native of Dubuque, Iowa, Moore graduated from Iowa with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, with a concentration in Marketing, in 2004. He was named a wrestling Academic All-American in 2003. Moore was a member of the 2006 World Team. Oddly enough, Rosselli is the coach of the World Team.

Edinboro Moves to 10-0 with 30-9 Win Over Bloomberg
Gillespie, Penn and Fendone Win by Fall

EDINBORO, PA The Edinboro University wrestling team overcome a slow start and picked up a key Eastern Wrestling League win on Friday night with a 30-9 triumph over Bloomsburg at McComb Fieldhouse. The Fighting Scots won by falls in three matches and captured the final five bouts to pull away for the victory.

Edinboro is ranked 17th in the latest USA Today/NWCA/InterMat Division I Coaches Poll. The Fighting Scots remain undefeated at 10-0 and 4-0 in the EWL. Top-ranked Minnesota is the only other undefeated team in Division I. Bloomsburg falls to 9-7 and 3-2 in the EWL. Only the 1996-97 (14-0) and the 1999-2000 teams (14-1, 11-0 straight) had better starts.

Trailing 6-3 after three matches, freshman Gregor Gillespie (Webster, NY/Webster Schroeder) gave the Fighting Scots the lead at 9-6 with his second fall of the season, this one coming at 1:55 over George Hickman at 149 lbs. Gillespie is now 32-2 and entered the match ranked seventh by InterMat and ninth by Amateur Wrestling News.

With regular starter Matt Hill (Freedom, PA/Freedom) out with an injury at 157 lbs., Michael Ashby (Mentor, OH/Mentor) gave a strong effort but came away a 7-2 loser to Aric Furhman, knotting the match at 9-9. Ashby has a 6-8 record.

Deonte Penn (Solon, OH/Solon) recently moved into fifth place in career falls, and he came up with his tenth of the season and 29th of his career in the 165 lb. bout. The junior won by fall at 1:10 over Frank Beasley, boosting his record to 24-9. Penn took a quick 2-0 lead with a takedown less than ten seconds into the match, and then went up 5-0 with three back points at 2:22 before flattening Beasley. That gave Edinboro the lead for good at 15-9 and started a string of five straight victories.

The 174 lbs. match between Edinboro's Eric Ring (Glassboro, NJ/Washington Twp.) and Bloomsburg's Jim Bertulis, the two finalists in the recent PSAC Championships. Ring was the winner by medical forfeit that day as Bertulis was just coming back from an injury. This time around the Boro junior came away with a 2-0 decision over Bertulis. Following a scoreless first period, Ring rode Bertulis out in the second period. He then came up with an escape at 1:36 of the third period, and had a 1:34 riding time advantage for another point. Ring improves to 26-10 while Bertulis is now 11-3.

Alex Clemsen (Moberly, MO/Moberly) and Nate Shirk hooked up in another tight match at 184 lbs. Clemsen, ranked 17th by InterMat, came away with a 3-2 decision thanks to a takedown with 47 seconds left in the third period. After a scoreless first period, the two traded escapes in the next two periods before Clemsen posted the winning takedown. Shirk escaped in the final seconds for the final score. Clemsen is now 27-7.

Redshirt freshman Joe Fendone (Salem, NH/Central Catholic) boosted his record to 24-6 with his ninth fall of the season, the end coming at 4:45 over Jesse Hasseman. That gave Edinboro an insurmountable 27-9 advantage. Hasseman opened the action with a takedown with seven seconds gone in the match, with a Fendone escape making it 2-1 after one period. Hasseman came up with a second period escape for a 3-1 lead, but Fendone knotted the match with a takedown with 47 seconds remaining in the period, and just over thirty seconds later recorded the fall.

In the biggest upset of the evening, Jeremy Mosley (Jacksonville, FL/University School)
surprised Mike Spaid, who recently won the heavyweight title at the PSAC Championships. The sophomore registered a takedown with 30 seconds left in the first period, with a Spaid escape making it
2-1 after one. Mosley started down to begin the second, and after an escape he registered his second takedown at 1:40 for a 5-1 lead. Spaid closed the match to 5-3 with an escape in the second, and another one to start the third period. With 1:08 in riding time, Mosley came away with the 6-3 decision to improve to 13-9. Spaid falls to 17-10.

In the lone matchup of the night between two ranked grapplers, Bloomsburg's Mike Sees, ranked eighth by Amateur Wrestling News and 14th by InterMat, was a 2-1 winner over Ricky Deubel (Chagrin Falls, OH/Kenston) at 125 lbs. Riding time proved the difference, with Sees owning a 1:16 advantage. Sees improves to 20-3, while Deubel, who is ranked 18th by Amateur Wrestling News and 20th by InterMat, falls to 20-10.

At 133 lbs., top-ranked Shawn Bunch (Leavenworth, KS/Leavenworth) improved to 30-1 with a 13-7 decision over Ricky Donald. Bunch appeared to have a major decision, only to see Donald be awarded a takedown at the buzzer. Bunch recorded five takedowns in the match while bringing his career record to 122-23.

Rick McLaughlin (West Chester, PA/West Chester Henderson) and Brad Forbes had a memorable bout in the 141 lb. PSAC finals, and tonight they engaged in another lengthy affair. After wrestling 11 minutes at the PSAC's, with a late Forbes takedown giving him a 4-3 win in two tiebreakers, the Bloomsburg senior again rallied for an 11-10 tiebreaker win. McLaughlin grabbed a 7-2 lead midway through the second period on the strength of two takedowns and a reversal, but Forbes rallied in the third period. After being awarded a penalty point for locked hands, a Forbes' reversal made the score 7-5 with 1:15 left in the third. McLaughlin answered with a reversal for a 9-5 lead with just 55 seconds remaining, but Forbes came up with an escape, followed by a takedown with 15 seconds remaining. McLaughlin made it 10-8 with an escape with 10 seconds to go, but Forbes was credited with a takedown at the horn to tie it at 10-10. Following a scoreless overtime session, Forbes rode out McLaughlin in the first 30-second period, and came up with the winning escape with 18 seconds left in the second. McLaughlin falls to 17-12, while Forbes is 21-6.

Edinboro returns to action this week in search of the EWL regular season title. The Fighting Scots are at Pittsburgh on Friday, February 17, then host West Virginia on Saturday, February 18.

Bunch, Gillespie Place First as Fighting Scots Finish Fourth at Las Vegas Invitational
Ring, Clemsen Earn Third and Seventh Place Finishes

EDINBORO, PA Everyone knew about Shawn Bunch (Leavenworth, KS/Leavenworth) heading into the 24th Annual Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational. But for Gregor Gillespie (Webster, NY/Webster Schroeder) it was a coming out party. The two Edinboro University wrestlers brought home first place finishes as the Fighting Scots turned in a strong showing against some of the top teams in the country, placing fourth.

Michigan finished first with 145 points, followed by Cornell at 116 point5s, with Missouri (102.5) edging the Fighting Scots for third place. Edinboro had 101 points. Arizona State rounded out the top five teams with 92 points. A total of 52 teams competed. Edinboro entered the tournament ranked 22nd in the USA Today/NWCA Top 25. Illinois, which finished sixth, was second and Michigan third.

A year ago Bunch placed third at the Las Vegas Invitational, suffering a narrow loss to Travis Lee of Cornell in the semifinals. The two would meet later in the year in the Southern Scuffle, with Bunch getting the best of Lee. The two met in the rubber match in the 133 lb. national championship bout at Nationals, with Lee besting Bunch, 6-3.
This time around the Edinboro senior won all six of his matches to improve to a perfect 16-0 and move to 108-22 for his career. In the semifinals, Bunch, the top-ranked wrestler in the country at 133 lbs., decisioned Robbie Preston of Harvard, the fourth seed and ranked ninth by InterMat, 6-5. He needed a takedown in the closing seconds to avoid the upset. Bunch met third-seed and eighth-ranked Matt Valenti of Pennsylvania in the finals, winning 5-3. The 133 lb. weight class had a total of 14 ranked wrestlers in the field.

Few Suprises for Flynn as Edinboro Fighting Scots Hold Wrestleoffs
EDINBORO, PA The Edinboro University wrestling team held its annual wrestleoffs on Sunday, October 30. Head coach Tim Flynn was pleased with what he saw, and also noted that most matches went according to plan.

"I thought the guys wrestled pretty well," Flynn commented. "Particularly since we've only been in the room for three weeks. I thought we looked in good shape. Obviously we can wrestle better, but it's early. I'm encouraged. "

After two solid recruiting classes, Flynn singled out his young wrestlers for praise. "I was really happy with the effort the younger kids gave us," he related. "They wrestled hard, and they all seemed to compete well."

While many of the weight classes were pretty much settled, there were several weights that bore interest. At 141 lbs., junior Rick McLaughlin (West Chester, PA/West Chester Henderson) handed Jay Morrison (Whitehall, PA/Whitehall), a highly-regarded redshirt freshman, a 6-2 defeat. "I thought Rick McLaughlin wrestled well," noted Flynn. "Also, I think Jay Morrison can perform better than that, but take nothing away from Rick. He looked good. "

Another highly-touted recruit made his debut on Sunday, and as expected came away with the starting job at 125 lbs. Ricky Deubel (Chagrin Falls, OH/Kenston), a two-time Ohio state champion, was a 12-4 winner over last year's starter, Greg Sill (Bethel Park, PA/Bethel Park). "Ricky looked sharp," admitted Flynn. "He still has some rust after sitting out last year, but every once in awhile he's something just makes you sit back and say wow. He will be a work in progress."

Shawn Bunch (Leavenworth, KS/Leavenworth), last year's runnerup at 133 lbs. with a 40-2 record, won by technical fall at 3:20 over redshirt freshman Ryan Morgan (Zanesville, OH/Columbus DeSales). The senior is number one in every preseason poll.

Freshman Gregor Gillespie (Webster, NY/Webster Schroeder) claimed the starting job at 149 lbs. with an impressive 8-0 win over incumbent Zach Plerhoples (Wilmington, DE/Salesianum). The two-time New York state champion took Plerhoples down early and piled up over six minutes in riding time.

Matt Hill (Freedom, PA/Freedom) enters the season with high hopes after qualifying for Nationals in his first season as the starter at 157 lbs. The junior disposed of Michael Ashby (Mentor, OH/Mentor), 5-0. Hill was 30-14 a year ago and enters this season ranked 13th by InterMat.

Deonte Penn (Solon, OH/Solon) is one of two starters who sat out the 2004-05 campaign. The junior won the EWL title at 149 lbs. two years ago, and now moves up to 165 lbs. He won by technical fall over Brendan Casey (Lowell, MA/Lowell). Penn is ranked 15th by InterMat and 19th by The Wrestling Mall.

The 174 lb. match between starter Eric Ring (Glassboro, NJ/Washington Twp.) and challenger Phil Moricone (Derry, NH/Pinkerton) was cancelled due to illness. Flynn hopes the two may meet this weekend at the EMU Open. Ring is ranked 10th by Amateur Wrestling News and 20th by The Wrestling Mall.

EDINBORO, PA After finishing a perfect 7-0 a year ago to win the Eastern Wrestling League regular season championship, Edinboro was thrust into the role of spoiler following a 20-20 tie with West Virginia last night. Pittsburgh invaded McComb Fieldhouse needing a win to claim its first EWL title, but the Fighting Scots won the final match for a 19-17 win.

For the fourth straight match heavyweight Joe Hennis (Mims, FL/Astronaut) entered his bout with the match on the line. The first two saw Hennis come up short, and last night the junior needed a major decision to give Edinboro a win over West Virginia. Instead, he captured an 8-6 decision to leave the match knotted.

The fourth time was the charm, however, as Hennis, battling illness and injury, scored an insurance takedown with six seconds left for a 10-7 win over Zach Sheaffer.. The victory, in the final dual match of the season, left the Fighting Scots with a 9-5-1 overall record and 3-2-1 in Eastern Wrestling League action. Pittsburgh is 4-2 in EWL action and 8-7 overall. Thanks to a win over Cleveland State this evening, West Virginia claims the regular season crown with a 4-1-1 record.

Hennis came out on fire, jumping to a quick 5-0 lead with a takedown and three back points. Sheaffer registered a late escape to trail 5-1 after a period. The match turned in the second period as Hennis aggravated an injury and gave up a reversal plus a point for an illegal hold. With a Hennis escape, he led 6-4 heading into the final period. A Scheaffer takedown was sandwiched by a pair of Hennis escapes leaving the match at 8-6. When Hennis was penalized a point for stalling with 25 seconds left, Scheaffer was on the verge of giving the Panthers the title. Instead, the Hennis takedown boosted his record to 25-9.

The two teams split the first six bouts, beginning with a 3-0 decision by Pittsburgh's Zach Bowman over Greg Sill (Bethel Park, PA/Bethel Park) at 125 lbs. Shawn Bunch (Leavenworth, KS/Leavenworth) followed with an impressive showing for his 21st straight win. Ranked number one in the country at 133 lbs. by InterMat and second by Amateur Wrestling News, he won by technical fall, 20-5, at 7:00 over Drew Headlee. Bunch totaled six takedowns and a total of five nearfall points, plus came up with a reversal. He is now 33-1. The two met earlier in the year, with Bunch a 6-3 winner.

Pittsburgh's Ron Tarquinio was equally impressive in picking up a 16-8 major decision over Rick McLaughlin (West Chester, PA/West Chester Henderson) at 141 lbs. Tarquinio is ranked eighth by InterMat and tenth by Amateur Wrestling News, with a 23-5 record. McLaughlin falls to 12-8.

At 149 lbs., Ron Doppelheuer (Connellsville, PA/Connellsville) picked up a 7-2 decision over Mike Ciotti to improve to 24-9.

For the second straight night Matt Hill (Freedom, PA/Freedom) faced a nationally-ranked wrestler at 157 lbs., and he fell just short of the upset once again. A 7-5 loser to WVU's Matt Lebe last night, he suffered a 3-2 loss to Matt Kocher, ranked 20th by Amateur Wrestling News. A Kocher escape with 1:14 left provided the winning point. Hill took Kocher down just over the final horn sounded. Hill is now 27-10, with Kocher improving to 28-7.

Nate Yetzer (Mansfield, OH/Madison) continued his dominant wrestling with a convincing 17-6 major decision over Justin Nestor at 165 lbs. The senior, making his final appearance at McComb Fieldhouse, gave the fans plenty to cheer about with eight takedowns and 3:26 in riding time. He has now won nine straight matches, five for extra points, and is 33-4 for the season and 97-30 for his career. It was his 11th win by major decision, along with 12 technical falls. Yetzer is ranked 12th.

Eric Ring (Glassboro, NJ/Washington Twp.) made it back-to-back wins for the Fighting Scots with a 13-4 major decision over Zachariah Doll, boosting Edinboro's lead to 16-10 and his season chart to 24-15. The junior is ranked 17th by Amateur Wrestling News and 19th by InterMat.

Pittsburgh picked up back-to-back wins to reclaim the lead at 17-16. Keith Gavin was a winner by major decision over Jim Gibson (Hermitage, PA/Kennedy Catholic), 15-6, at 184 lbs. Gibson falls to 19-13. Lou Thomas followed with a 6-3 decision over Paul Burger (Mentor, OH/Mentor) in a battle of freshman at 197 lbs., setting the stage for the heavyweight bout.

Edinboro will now look to defend its co-title in the EWL Tournament on March 5-6 at Clarion University. The Fighting Scots are the two-time defending champions, tying West Virginia a year ago.
