The Mountain Hawks raced to a fast start winning four of the first five bouts by decision to take a 12-3 lead at the halfway point. Sophomore Matt Fisk won a 2-1 decision over Brandon Kinney to get the dual started.
After Seth Ciasulli lost a 6-3 bout to No. 17 Matt DeLorenzo, older brother Matt gave Lehigh the lead, scoring a takedown and two-point near fall in sudden victory to defeat Sal Tirico 5-1.
At 149, junior Jeff Santo returned to the Lehigh lineup in place of the injured Trevor Chinn and responded with a 5-2 victory over Matt Dunn. Senior Dave Nakasone closed the Lehigh run with a 9-5 triumph over Derek Sickles at 197.
Cassidy’s major decision secured the dual for Lehigh, before senior Paul Weibel was caught on his back and pinned by Kevin Lester in the final bout at heavyweight.
The Mountain Hawks will wrestle their fourth and final dual of the weekend Sunday at 5 p.m. versus No. 6 Hofstra at the New York Athletic Club.
