The dual began at 125 with Drexel’s Steve Mytych winning by fall over Mitch Berger in 6:45. The forfeit to Ciasulli tied the dual at six, before Santo took the mat and won by major over Morgan Remillard at 141. Santo piled up a first period takedown and added a reversal and two near falls in the second period to put Lehigh ahead. Junior Trevor Chinn extended the Lehigh lead with a 5-3 win over Lewis Baker at 149.
Senior Dave Nakasone nearly pulled a big upset at 157 as he led All-American Ryan Hluschak in the third period before falling in sudden victory. Nakasone had the only takedowns of regulation, but a penalty point for stalling against Nakasone tied the bout late in the third, and Hluschak secured the winning takedown in the sudden victory period.
From there, Lehigh rolled to wins in four of the final five weights. Sophomore Mike Galante and freshman Alex Caruso put together back-to-back wins by decision; Caruso’s victory was his 20th of the season.
After Drexel’s Dave Woodall beat Manuel Schubert 8-5 at 184, sophomore Alex Iacocca iced the dual for the Brown and White with an 11-2 major decision over Brian Stouffer.
Sophomore Justin Allen scored a second period takedown to defeat Bryant Deinhardt 4-2 in the final bout of the day.
