    Bonus points carry Lock Haven to 2-0 night

    LOCK HAVEN, Pa. -- On the night, the Lock Haven University wrestling team (4-5, 1-0 EWL) won 16 of 20 bouts and picked up bonus points in nine matches on the way to a pair of dominating wins.

    The Bald Eagles won seven of 10 bouts vs. Messiah on the way to a 29-10 victory and Lock Haven dominated rival Bloomsburg, 39-3.

    With the two wins tonight, LHU moves to 4-5 overall. Lock Haven won nine of 10 bouts in the Bald Eagles 2015-16 Eastern Wrestling League (EWL) opener vs. Bloomsburg.

    Six different Bald Eagles went 2-0 on the night, including Dan Neff (Quarryville, Pa./Solanco), who returned to 149 pounds.

    Neff, who had been competing at 141 up until tonight, moved back up 149, where he was an All-American last season. Neff looked comfortable and racked up a pair of tech falls.

    Bobby Rehm (Lancaster, Pa./Penn Manor), Joe Ghione (Brick, N.J./Brick Memorial), Aaron McKinney (McDonald, Pa./West Allegheny), Cody Cordes (Edwardsville, Pa./Wyoming Valley) and Brad Emerick (Wilkes-Barre, Pa./Coughlin) all went 2-0.

    Lock Haven opened the night with a dominating 29-10 win over NCAA Division III power Messiah (5-2). The Bald Eagles won seven of 10 points and picked up bonus points in four matches, thanks to a major decision, two tech falls and a pin.

    After falling behind 4-0 vs. Messiah after the opening bout at 125, Lock Have rattled off six straight wins (133-174) on the way to the big win.

    Following the win over Messiah, the Bald Eagles opened EWL action with a rout of the Huskies (0-7, 0-3 EWL).

    Bloomsburg opened the match with a win 125, but it was all Lock Haven from there, as the Bald Eagles ripped on nine straight wins, including a Tristan Sponseller (East Berlin, Pa./Bermudian Springs) pin at 184.

    LHU returns to action Tuesday, December 29 at 9:30 a.m. when the Bald Eagles host the 2015 Lock Haven Classic Tournament.
