    Columbia earns win at Penn

    PHILADELPHIA -- In a match that featured five lead changes, the Columbia wrestling team came out on top, 19-16, today at Penn. With the win, the Lions are now 9-6 in duals on the season.

    The Quakers got the first team points in the dual, when Jeremy Schwartz topped Britain Carter in a tight, 4-3 match. The lead would not last long, as Angelo Amenta earned his second bonus points win of the weekend during a first period fall over Caleb Richardson.

    The back-and-forth nature would continue, as Marc Mastropietro gave Penn bonus points of their own with a major decision at 141, before Dan Reed avenged a loss from the day before in a 6-3 win at 149.

    Markus Scheidel and Tyrel White gave the Lions a boost at 157 and 165, with two close wins. Columbia jumped ahead 12-7 when Scheidel topped May Bethea, 4-3, before White handed Brooks Martino a 9-5 loss, boosting the team lead to 15-7.

    Not to be outdone, the Quakers would tally three wins in a row, taking a 16-15 lead after the 197-pound bout. For the fourth time this season, the pressure was on Garrett Ryan, who would deliver.

    Just as he did in Columbia wins over Buffalo, Binghamton and Brown, a win in the heavyweight match helped the Lions take home a 19-16 win, after the sophomre gave Patrik Garren a 9-1 major decision. The victory gave Ryan his 20th win on the season, as he joins teammates Scheidel, White, Amenta and Zack Hernandez, giving Columbia five wrestlers who have hit the mark.

    The dual season will come to a close next Saturday, as Bucknell visits the Blue Gym in a 1 pm dual on the Ivy League Digital Network.
