    Bucknell has strong showing

    MILLERSVILLE, Pa. -– The Bucknell wrestling squad put together a successful showing at the Shorty Hitchcock Memorial Classic on Friday as members of the Bison placed in six of the 10 weight classes at the non-scored tournament hosted by Millersville University.

    David Marble (Harpursville, N.Y./Harpursville Area) captured first at 133 for his first career tournament win. In the championship, Marble defeated Justin Shorts of Delaware Valley College.

    The Bison had two second-place finishers as Zach Galligan (Boonville, N.Y./Adirondack) was second at 141 and Eric Lapotsky (Mount Carmel, Pa./Mount Carmel Area) was the runner-up in the 197-pound bracket.

    Andy Rendos (Brockway, Pa./Brockway Area), who is currently ranked 16th in the nation, was upset in his first bout at 165, but swept through the consolation bracket to capture third at the weight.

    Shane Riccio (Warren, N.J./Watchung Hills) and George Hingson (Moon Township, Pa./Moon Area) rounded out the placewinners for the Orange and Blue, with Riccio finishing third at 174 and Hingson fourth at heavyweight.

    "I felt our wrestlers performed well today coming out of the break," said Bison head coach Dan Wirnsberger. "The tournament was a good warm-up for us heading into next weekend's trip to Brown and Boston University."
