William Penn Drops Three Matches at MVC Duals
Marshall, Mo.–The Statesmen men’s wrestling team had a tough day on the mat, going 0-3 at the Missouri Valley Duals Saturday.
WPU (8-6, 3-3 Heart) opened the day with a 39-4 setback to #7 Missouri Valley in a Heart of America Athletic Conference setback. William Penn then lost 35-15 to #13 Marian (Ind.) and ended the Duals with a 30-15 loss to Williams Baptist (Ark.).
In the lone bright spot against Missouri Valley, 157-pounder Cameron Hargrove (Fr., Bolingbrook, Ill., Undecided) crushed Anthony Erickson with a 16-2 major decision.
After the Statesmen fell behind 6-0 versus Marian, Sean Inswasty (Fr., Miami, Fla., Business Management) knotted the meet with a forfeit. Another loss put the navy and gold down 11-6, but 149-pounder Joe Eads (Jr., Morrison, Ill., Biology) pinned Mason Miranda in a time of 2:09 for a 12-11 William Penn edge.
Hargrove then extended the advantage to 15-11 with a 4-1 decision over Ismael Cornejo. Unfortunately, the final five bouts of the meet went in favor of the Knights.
Nadhelo Charles-Pierre (Sr., Miramar, Fla., Sports Management) put WPU on top against Williams Baptist with a 3-1 victory against Robert Fairchild at 125 pounds.
Following a defeat at 133, Darian Diaz (Fr., Pembroke Pines, Fla., Sociology) brought the score even at 6-6 with a 4-2 overtime win over Johnny Baldwin at 141 pounds.
Then down 9-6, Hargrove won a high-scoring 157-pound matchup with Josh Tyler, claiming a 21-10 major decision. Steven Skewes (Fr., Duchesne, Utah, Exercise Science) also bettered his foe at 165 pounds, dropping William Gaither with a 17-2 technical fall.
The Eagles earned victory in the last four bouts, however, to claim the meet.
