LANCASTER, Pa. – American University owned all ten
weight-classes to remain unbeaten in Eastern Intercollegiate
Wrestling Association (EIWA). The Eagles (9-4, 4-0 EIWA) pasted a
40-0 win on Franklin & Marshall. The loss marks the
second time the Diplomats (4-10, 0-7 EIWA) have been kept off
the scoreboard this season.
The Diplomats were previously blanked by Penn in an EIWA match.
American recorded decisions in each of the final five bouts. The
heavyweights closed the afternoon with the most spirited match of
the day. The score was knotted at 3-3 with American's
Quniton Pruett holding 1:03 of advantage time. Nico Somers worked
in a double, but was unable to score off of it over the final 25
seconds.
At 174-pounds, AU's #3 Mike Cannon (21-0) remained
undefeated with a 10-3 decision of Justin Herbert.
F&M spotted the Birds six points with a forfeit at 125
pounds. One minute and nine seconds later, Jasen Borschoff doubled
the lead with the only pin of the afternoon. It came at Matt
Murray's expense. Matthew Mariarcher kept the momentum going
finishing a 21-6 tech fall with two seconds left in the second
period. Mariarcher recorded seven takedowns and five back points en
route to the win.
#11 Kyle Borshoff picked up four team points with a 13-4 major
of Al Gianforti, followed by Patrick Graham's rare four-point
tech fall of Matt Gittleman. Graham recorded 12 takedowns and an
escape for the 25-10 win.
