The Dragons started their dual against LIU Post off quickly as they secured three pins in the first three matches. Redshirt senior Zack Fuentes pinned Nick Conetta 46 seconds into the 125 match and then rookie Austin DeSanto earned his first-career win-by-fall 1:16 into the matchup at 133. Redshirt freshman Julian Flores added a third-consecutive pin as he took down Danny Espiniera at 141 to give the Dragons an early 18-0 advantage.
LIU Post's Joe Calderone earned what would be the Pioneers' only points of the dual as he edged redshirt sophomore Nick Widmann at 149, 5-4. Freshman Evan Barczak picked the Dragons up at 157 with an 8-1 win over TJ Fabian and then redshirt sophomore Ebed Jarrell earned a major decision over LIU Post's Jackson Mordente at 165 to put Drexel ahead, 25-3 with four matches to play. At 174, redshirt senior Austin Rose came out and got an 11-6 decision over Dan Arkow and then redshirt sophomore Owen Brooks followed with a 17-5 major decision over Dan McClure at 184. Redshirt junior Stephen Loiseau added a technical fall at 197 over Logan McGinn before freshman Sean O'Malley finished things off with a 4-1 decision over Gregg Hodulick in the heavyweight match to help secure a 40-3 victory for the Dragons over the Pioneers.
In Drexel's second dual of the day, redshirt senior Tanner Shoap started things off with a technical fall against Pitt-Johnstown's Sam Holandez at 125. DeSanto followed with a tech fall of his own at 133 just 58 seconds into his match against the Mountain Cats' Noah Burkhart. In the next two matches, rookies Chandler Olson and Trevor Elfvin picked up wins at 141 and 149 respectively to put Drexel ahead, 16-0. At 157, Barczak earned the go-ahead takedown with 10 seconds to go to secure a 3-1 decision over Cody Law. It was at the conclusion of this match that a team point was deducted from Pitt-Johnstown due to a coaches warning.
Jarrell earned the Dragons' sixth-consecutive win of the dual with a 10-3 win over the Mountain Cats' Devin Austin at 165 to give Drexel a 22-0 lead. Pitt-Johnstown's Tyler Reinhart edged Rose in the 174 match, 5-4, but then Brooks came back with a 14-4 major decision over Steve Edwards at 184. Loiseau added his second win of the day with a 9-2 decision over Levi Niebauer to put Drexel ahead, 29-2 with one match to go. The Mountain Cats' Allan Beattie was able to secure a pin against Drexel freshman Vincenzo Pelusi but it was not enough to overcome the deficit the Dragons had created. Drexel picked up its second win of the day with a 29-8 victory over Pitt-Johnstown.
The Dragons will return to action on Friday, Nov. 10 as they travel to face SIUE in a 7 p.m. matchup. Then on Sunday, Nov. 12 Drexel will visit Iowa State in a dual that is set to begin at noon.
