Lehigh University Athletics
Spectacular Semis For Sahl
8/26/2003 12:00:00 AM | Men's Wrestling
In one of the more dramatic individual moments in recent Lehigh history at the EIWA Tournament, Joe Sahl scored a shocking win by fall over 2nd seed John Paxton of Army in just 2:08 their semifinal heavyweight bout. The win avenged his dual loss to the Cadet and virtually assures Lehigh of their third league championship in four years.
