The Eagles captured eight of the 10 bouts over the Huskies with two pins and six decisions, including two shut outs, to run away with the 30-6 victory. With the win, EMU improves to 3-1 in dual action, while Bloomsburg falls to 0-2 overall on the young season.
Making his 2014-15 dual debut, redshirt-freshman Blake Caudill shut out Elliot Zackoski in a 2-0 decision to give the Eagles the early 3-0 lead, but Bloomsburg knotted the score in the 133 lb. bout as Andy Schultz took down Vincent Pizzuto in a 5-4 decision. Despite coming back to knot the score at 4-4, Pizzuto was unable to hold out as Schultz grabbed one final escape with just seconds left in the third period to take the narrow one-point decision.
Eastern Michigan took back the lead for good when Michael Shaw took control of the match right out of the opening whistle, pinning Tanner Cahill with just six seconds remaining in the first period. Nicholas Barber took an early 2-0 lead in the first period with a takedown, before getting out to a 5-1 lead to end the second period. The redshirt-sophomore extended the EMU lead to 12-3 with a 6-2 decision at 149 lbs. before redshirt-senior Brandon Zeerip continued the trend, taking an 8-2 decision at 157 lbs. Redshirt-sophomore Devan Marry secured the Eagles second pin of the night in 2:18 seconds over Brandon Meisner in the 165 lb. weight class after getting out to an early 2-0 advantage.
Freshman Kayne MacCallum put the match out of reach, grabbing a tightly contested 3-2 decision over Mark Granahan in his collegiate dual debut, extending the Eagle lead to 24-3 with three bouts remaining. Eastern suffered a setback at 184 lbs. when Mike Curby fell in a 10-4 decision, but the team recovered quickly, winning the final two bouts of the dual. Redshirt-junior Anthony Abro picked up his third win of the season with a 7-3 decision over Michael Mirra, while Cole Dillman shut out Shaun Heist for his second victory of the year with a takedown in the first period and an escape to start the second period.
The Green and White will take just a one-day break before traveling to Philadelphia, Pa. for the Keystone Classic Sunday, Nov. 23
