Like in their match at Columbia earlier in the day, Hofstra jumped out to a 9-3 lead after four weight classes as freshman Dylan Ryder at 125, junior Jacob Martin at 133 and freshman Holden Heller at 149 each posted victories for the early lead. For Ryder, it was his 10th consecutive victory and his 21st on the season.
After Patrick Quinlan brought the Diplomats within three with a win at 157-pounds, Burkert started a three-win streak for the Pride with a 10-2 major decision over Crew Fullerton at 165-pounds. Sophomore Ricky Stamm at 174 and Trey Rogers at 184 followed with decision wins to boost the Hofstra lead to 19-6.
Franklin and Marshall closed the deficit on a sudden victory win at 197 and a one-point decision at 285 to close the final score to 19-12.
Hofstra returns to action next Saturday, February 9 when the Pride travels to Connecticut to face the Pioneers of Sacred Heart University in another EIWA match at 1 p.m.
