    Drexel downs Franklin & Marshall

    LANCASTER, Pa. -- The Drexel wrestling team earned its fourth conference victory of the season as they defeated Franklin & Marshall, 30-6 on Saturday night. The Dragons secured victories in eight of the ten matches in the winning effort.

    The dual started at 165 as Nick Elmer defeated the Diplomats' Andy Francos by a 10-6 deficit. Stephen Loiseau followed with a 5-3 decision over Gordon Bolig at 174 and then Alex DeCiantis gave the Dragons a 10-0 advantage with a 19-7 major decision in the 184 match. Brandon Litten came up at 197 and put up a strong fight but ultimately dropped a 6-5 overtime decision to Franklin & Marshall's Charles Kerkesner.

    In the heavyweight match, Joey Goodhart defeated the Diplomats' Alex Henry, 3-2 to extend Drexel's lead to 13-3. Zack Fuentes earned an 11-2 major decision over Edgar Garcia at 125 before Franco Ferraina strengthened the Dragons lead to 23-3 with a pin over Patrick Quinlan at 133. David Pearce solidified a Drexel victory with a 6-0 decision at 141 and then Matthew Cimato added a major decision at 149 to bring the team score to 30-3. Franklin & Marshall's Rob King earned a 6-1 decision over Ryan O'Connor in the final match of the dual, but it was not enough to overcome the deficit Drexel had created.

    With the victory, Drexel improves to 7-10 overall and 4-1 in EIWA action. The Dragons return home to the DAC on Spirit Night this Friday when they will host Hofstra at 7:00 p.m.
