    McDaniel picks up pin in final match to top Gettysburg

    GETTYSBURG, Pa. -- Deadlocked at 18-all, Taylor Avino (Fair Haven, N.J./Rumson-Fair Haven) recorded a first-period fall to lift McDaniel to a 24-18 Centennial Conference (CC) wrestling victory over Gettysburg on Wednesday.

    The Green Terror (8-8, 3-2 CC) won the final two bouts to take six wins overall in the victory.

    Pat Thomas led the Bullets (4-14, 1-5 CC) with a 2-minute, 4-second pin at 174.

    After Thomas knotted the match at 15-all with three matches to go, Jared Leon recorded a 10-5 victory at 184 to put the hosts in front by three.

    Dakota Wilhelm (La Plata, Md./La Plata) notched a 6-2 win at 197 to make the heavyweight bout a winner-take-all match.

    Avino tallied his eighth pin of the season in 1:21 to give McDaniel the victory.

    Holt Johnson and Ryan O'Boyle (North Reading, Mass./Central Catholic) exchanged forfeits to start the night before Alvontae Dummond (Lincoln, Del./Milford) gave the Green Terror a three-point edge with a 9-5 victory at 141.

    Mason Goretsas (Hampstead, Md./North Carroll) earned an escape in the third period and then won his bout on riding time 5-4 to stretch the lead to 12-6.

    A Matt Capobianco third-period escape proved to be the difference in a 5-4 bout at 157, pulling Gettysburg back within three.

    The Green Terror stretched the lead back to six on a Luke Yox (Westminster, Md./Liberty) rally at 165. An escape and takedown in the third period knotted the bout at 5-all before Yox earned the point for time advantage and a 6-5 victory.

    McDaniel returns to action at home against Ursinus and NYU on Saturday. Action begins at 11 a.m.
