LANCASTER, Pa. – Davidson and Franklin & Marshall spilt the 10 matches, but F&M held the edge in bonus points to earn a 20-16 victory over the Wildcats in a non-conference wrestling dual meet Friday evening in the Mayser Center.
Davidson (5-3) trailed 20-3 after the first six bouts, but rallied in the final four to close the gap. It was not enough though as junior Scott Patrick was the only Wildcat to score bonus points, earning a major decision at 184 pounds over Paul Alessandrini, 14-4. Ian Solcz (174), Carson Stack (197), and Ed Isola (285) all won by decision for the final margin.
Sophomore Philip Elias claimed the first bout of the meet for Davidson at 125 pounds, earning a 7-5 decision over Aaron Moldoff, but Franklin & Marshall (4-2) won the next five. Robert Ruiz earned a major decision at 133 pounds and Richard Durso followed with a pin at 141 pounds for a 10-3 Diplomat advantage. Andrew Murano prevailed at 149 pounds, 9-5, while Eric Norgard claimed a major decision with an 8-0 shutout at 157. Rob King then managed to edge Chris Cirenza in a close battle at 165 pounds, 5-3, giving F&M just enough of a cushion to withstand Davidson's late charge.
Davidson will continue to compete in Pennsylvania, traveling to the University of Pittsburgh to compete in the Pitt Duals Sunday against Lock Haven and No. 15 Pittsburgh.
