    Gannon defeats PSU DuBois, raises over $1,200

    ERIE, Pa. -- The Gannon wrestling team won nine of ten bouts en route to a 39-6 win over Penn State DuBois Wednesday evening at the Hammermill Center. In addition to the results on the mat, the event was also a success as fundraising efforts produced more than $1,200 to be used for a scholarship in the name of head coach Don Henry's wife Diane who passed away earlier this week.

    Matt Turek (Painesville, Ohio / Madison) gave the Golden Knights a 6-0 lead after the 125-pound match, earning a technical fall (22-7) at the 4:02 mark of the bout. Turek recorded six takedowns and six back points during the first period.

    Adam Weinell (Blairsville, Pa. / Blairsville) recorded his third pin of the season in the 133-pound bout. He pinned Trenton Bowers two minutes and 37 seconds into the match, giving Gannon an 11-0 lead.

    Scott Bulzan (Chardon, Ohio / Chardon) earned a 4-2 decision in the 141-pound match before Ethan Swope (Luthersberg, Pa. / DuBois Area) recorded a 12-3 major decision at 149. Swope picked up two takedowns in the first period, a reversal in the second and a takedown with three back points in the third.

    Keith Stoerr (Lancaster, N.Y. / Lancaster) and Zack Zelcs (Ridgway, Pa. / Ridgway) also recorded pins during the Gannon win. Stoerr pinned Ryan Terwilliger in 5:51 to end the 174-pound bout while Zelcs recorded the win via pin at the 4:15 mark of the 184-pound match.

    Sam Brehm (Wexford, Pa. / Pine-Richland), Adam Greenman (Port Allegany, Pa. / Port Allegany) and Jimmy Martz (Hookstown, Pa. / Southside Beaver) all added three points to Gannon's total with decisions in their respective weight classes.

    The Golden Knights moved to 1-0 with the win in their opening dual. Penn State DuBois fell to 5-2 for the season.

    Gannon will next compete at the Pennsylvania State Athletic Championships this weekend at Mercyhurst. Competition will take place all day Saturday, December 10.
