    Hofstra opens season with EIWA win over Franklin & Marshall

    HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. -- Hofstra redshirt senior Michael Hughes recorded a win by fall and three other Pride wrestlers posted major decisions as Hofstra (1-0, 1-0) opened the 2017-18 season with a 30-6 Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association (EIWA) over the Diplomats of Franklin & Marshall (1-0, 1-0) at the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex Sunday.

    Hughes, who sat out last season after placing third in the EIWA and earning a trip to the NCAA Championships in 2016, pinned Diplomat senior Antonio Pelusi at the 1:47 mark of their 285-pound match to give the Pride a 9-0 lead in the contest. Red-shirt freshman Ricky Stamm, who was 29-11 in open tournaments last season, recorded a 13-3 major decision at 157 in his official college debut. Sophomore Sage Heller made his debut at 165 pounds and posted a 16-2 major while red-shirt junior Cory Damiana returned from his red-shirt season last year with a 15-5 major at 184.

    Both of the Diplomats' victories, by Edgar Garcia, 9-7 at 125 and Brett Kulp, 4-2 at 141, were sudden victory decisions.

    Hofstra returns to action next Saturday, November 11 when the Pride face Kent State and Purdue in the Journeymen-Northeast Duals at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy, New York.
