The Chippewas (7-2, 2-0 MAC) claimed the final six matches of the dual, getting a kick-start from two freshmen at 157 and 165 pounds.
After the Chippewas and Bulls (0-6, 0-1 MAC) split the first four matches, redshirt-freshman Jared Porter earned his first collegiate victory at 157 pounds by decision over Dominic Montesanti, 3-2. Despite leading, 2-1, in the third period, Porter had allowed Montesanti to accumulate enough riding time for a bonus point, but was able to come up with an escape with just two seconds remaining to claim the 3-2 decision.
True freshman Mike Ottinger continued to prove that he is a force to be reckoned with in the Mid-American Conference at 165 pounds. The Schnecksville, Pa., native claimed a decision, 6-3, over No. 20 Mark Lewandowski, the MAC's highest ranked 165-pounder, pushing the Chippewas' lead to six, 12-6.
Craig Kelliher, wrestling at 174 pounds for the first time this season, earned a pin victory over Patrick Bradley to give the Chippewas six bonus points, and No. 8 Ben Bennett earned a win by forfeit at 184 pounds for another six bonus points for CMU, extending their lead again to 21, 24-6.
Seniors Chad Friend and No. 6 Peter Sturgeon closed the dual with decisions at 197 and 285 pounds, 8-3 and 3-1.
The Chippewas return to action next Saturday when they travel to Lewisburg, Pa., for the Bucknell Duals where they will square off versus Bucknell and Princeton.
