    Bloomsburg gets 600th win in school history

    BINGHAMTON, NY -- The Bloomsburg University wrestling won the 600th match in program history by beating Binghamton University, 28-12, on Saturday afternoon. It was the final regular season dual match of the season for the Huskies who will now prepare for the Eastern Wrestling League (EWL) Championships on Mar. 8 at Cleveland State.

    Bloomsburg won seven of the nine bouts contested on the day (the Huskies forfeited one weight class) earning bonus points in three of the matches.

    Trailing 6-0 due to the forfeit, the Huskies got a major decision from Nick Wilcox (Greene, NY/Greene Central) at 133 pounds who won 13-2. Matt Rappo (Holland/Council Rock South) then won by fall in 3:14 to put the Huskies up 10-6. Binghamton came back with a win at 149 pounds when Joe Bonaldi scored an upset over the Huskies 19th-ranked Bryce Busler (Mechanicsburg/Cumberland Valley), 2-1, OT.

    The Huskies won the next three matches from Brandon Arnsberger (Parkersburg/Octorara) at 157, Josh Veltre (Rochester, NY/Greece Olympia) at 165 and Mike Dessino (Middlesex, NJ/Middlesex) at 174. The win by Dessino was by fall and was the 45th of his career. He is now tied for second all-time at Bloomsburg with former All-American Mike Spaid.

    After the Bearcats won at 184 pounds, Richard Perry (Meriden, CT/Middletown), ranked sixth at 197, posted a 3-2 win over 25th-ranked Cody Reed. The win was the 27th straight for Perry and snapped Reed's 11-match winning streak.

    The day ended with Bloomsburg's Justin Grant (Easton/Easton), ranked 17th at 285, scoring a 9-3 win over 24th-ranked Tyler Deuel.

    Bloomsburg ends the season at 9-8 for first-year coach Jason Mester.
