    Bloomsburg knocks off Hofstra for first win of season

    BLOOMSBURG, Pa. -- The Bloomsburg University wrestling team started the new year off on the right foot with a 21-14 non-conference victory over visiting Hofstra University on Friday night at the Nelson Field House. The win was the Huskies' first dual win of the season as they improved to 1-4 overall while the Pride dropped to 1-3 overall on the year.

    After losses by both junior Willy Girard (Williamstown, Pa/Williams Valley) and redshirt junior Lewis Williams (Bloomsburg, Pa./Central Columbia) to start the night, freshman Aaron Coleman (Iselin, N.J./John F. Kennedy Memorial) got the Huskies on the board with a high-scoring 15-9 decision over Garrett Lambert at 141 pounds to trim the Hofstra lead to 8-3. Coleman fell behind 6-0 early in the first period before recording a reversal and two back points to cut the lead to 6-4 after the opening frame. Coleman took his first lead of the match with four back points in the second period and then extended the advantage to 14-6 early in the third with a reversal and four more back points. However, his major decision effort was thwarted when Lambert scored an escape and a takedown later in the final period. Coleman improved to 6-11 overall and 2-3 in duals this season.

    Redshirt junior Grant Bond (Carlisle, Pa./Boiling Springs) followed with a forfeit victory at 149 pounds to give the Huskies a 9-8 lead. Bond improved to 10-4 and became the third Huskies' wrestler to reach double-digit wins on the season.

    Junior Nate Newberry (Biglerville, Pa./Biglerville) picked up a 6-0 decision over Chris Mauriello at 157 pounds to extend the Huskies' advantage to 12-8. Newberry evened his record at 9-9 on the campaign. Then, after a Hofstra win at 165 pounds cut the lead to 12-11, redshirt sophomore Anthony Vetrano (Middletown, N.J./Middletown North) regained the four-point lead with a 3-0 decision over Corey Langner at 174 pounds. Vetrano moved his record to 7-11 on the year and earned his first dual win of the season (1-4).

    Fresh off his seventh-place finish at Midlands last weekend, redshirt junior Trevor Allard (Mexico, N.Y./Mexico) earned a 6-4 decision over Trey Rogers at 184 pounds in the most exciting finish of the night. Trailing 1-0 entering the third period, Allard scored an escape and then a quick takedown for a 3-1 advantage early in the final frame. Rogers came back with an escape and a takedown with time winding down to take a 4-3 lead. Allard tied the bout at 4-4 with an escape and then scored a takedown with six seconds left to score the two-point win. Allard improved to 16-9 on the year and moved to 4-1 in duals.

    Hofstra's Nezar Haddad gave the Pride a chance with a 6-4 sudden victory over junior Kyle Murphy (Bridgewater, N.J./Bridgewater-Raritan) at 197 pounds to cut the Huskies' lead to 18-14 heading to the heavyweight bout. But, junior Bruce Graeber (Feasterville, Pa./Neshaminy) secured a 3-2 decision over Omar Haddad, earning the deciding point with just over a minute of riding time, to give the Huskies a seven-point victory. Graeber improved to 8-10 overall and 3-2 in duals this season.

    The Huskies will look to put a winning streak together when they return to the Nelson Field House on Friday, January 11, to host Eastern Wrestling League (EWL) rival Edinboro University. Action gets underway at 7:00 p.m.
