    American edges East Stroudsburg

    WASHINGTON, D.C. --= American University heavyweight Adam LoPiccolo, ranked No. 10 in the country, countered an Adam Karasevicz shot with a takedown in sudden victory as the Eagles defeated East Stroudsburg University, 24-19, Friday night at Bender Arena.

    Mark Smith had a pin, Dave Sullivan won a major decision and Keith Smith won in sudden victory for the Warriors.
