Statesmen Shut Out by Top-Ranked GVU
Oskaloosa–The William Penn men’s wrestling team failed to record a huge upset Friday, falling 54-0 to #1 Grand View in a Heart of America Athletic Conference dual meet.
While WPU (1-9, 1-4 Heart) was unable to pick up a victory in the seven contested matches against Grand View (8-0, 4-0 Heart), two individuals did go the distance.
Joe Eads (So., Morrison, Ill., Biology) produced the best fight of the night, falling just 2-0 to Brenna Grayson at 149 pounds, giving up one point to both a penalty (locked hands) and to riding time.
125-pounder Nadhelo Charles-Pierre (Jr., Miramar, Fla., Sports Management) also went the full seven minutes, dropping a 10-2 major decision to Sidney Oliver.
