Mountain Hawks Close Out Dual Season With 24-12 Win At Princeton
2/11/2023 9:44:00 PM | Men's Wrestling
PRINCETON, N.J. – In the final dual of the regular season, the Lehigh wrestling team picked up a 24-12 victory over Princeton Saturday evening at Jadwin Gym. The Mountain Hawks won seven bouts overall as a technical fall by sophomore Malyke Hines and a major decision by senior Josh Humphreys staked Lehigh to a 15-3 lead at intermission.
Â
The win is Lehigh's third straight as the Mountain Hawks wrap up the dual season with a 9-9 record.
Â
Princeton (3-11) captured the opening bout as second-ranked Patrick Glory defeated first-year Carter Bailey 12-5 at 125, but Bailey did pick up a key late reversal to avoid the major decision.
Â
Lehigh won the next four bouts, beginning with a 7-1 decision by Connor McGonagle over Anthony Clark at 133. Hines followed with a dominant 15-0 technical fall over Chris Martino at 141. Hines had three four-point near falls in the first period and escaped 17 seconds into the second to end the bout.
At 149, sophomore Max Brignola scored a takedown in sudden victory to defeat Marshall Keller 4-2. It marked the third time in the last three weeks that Brignola posted a sudden victory decision. Humphreys then dominated Ty Whalen in a 12-2 major decision to give Lehigh a 15-3 lead at intermission. The fourth-ranked senior used a key six-point move late in the second period to improve to 12-0 on the season.
Princeton claimed the next two bouts to pull within 15-12 as fifth-ranked Quincy Monday won 6-1 over Luca Frinzi at 165 and Kole Mulhauser came from behind to pin Jake Logan in the third period at 174.
Â
With its lead cut to three points, Lehigh's three nationally-ranked upperweights responded with victories to close out the evening. Graduate student Tate Samuelson won a 6-1 decision over Nate Dugan at 184 and sophomore Michael Beard posted an 11-4 decision over Luke Stout at 197.
First-year heavyweight Nathan Taylor closed out the dual season with a 5-0 win over Travis Stefanik behind a second period reversal, a third period takedown and riding time.
Â
The Mountain Hawks will now be off until the EIWA Championships, March 4-5 at the Palestra in Philadelphia.
