    Lashaway joins Kent State staff

    KENT, Ohio -- Two-time NCAA Tournament qualifier Drew Lashaway has returned to the Kent State wrestling program as a volunteer assistant. In another recent staff move, Andrew Wolf was promoted to assistant coach after serving as a volunteer assistant last season.

    Lashaway makes his coaching debut following a stellar senior season with the Golden Flashes. At 141 pounds, he finished 31-7 and won a Mid-American Conference title. Lashaway went 4-0 in MAC duals, placed first at the Body Bar Invitational and second at the Southern Scuffle. A native of Bowling Green, Ohio, he piled up 91 career victories in four seasons. Lashaway is also working toward a master's degree at KSU.

    “We're happy to be able to keep Drew around,” Head Coach Jim Andrassy said. “He had full-time offers with other schools, but he chose to stay here. He'll do a nice job of filling the gap between the rest of the coaches and the athletes and he'll be able to show the younger guys how we want things done both on the mat and in the classroom.”

    Before joining Kent State last season, Wolf spent one year coaching at Mount Union during the 2007-08 season. Prior to coaching, he a four-year letterwinner at Indiana. Like Lashaway, Wolf was an NCAA qualifier and served as a team captain with the Hoosiers. A native of Lawrenceburg, Indiana, Wolf was also a FILA Freestyle All-American.

    “The new position that we got for Andrew was a perfect fit for all of us,” Andrassy said. “He brought some great things to the table last year and our guys have become familiar with him. With this kind of coaching staff, we're looking for even better things come.”

    The Golden Flashes begin their 2009-10 season with a dual meet at Virginia Tech on Nov. 7.
