    Arizona State captures tough win over Lehigh

    Before the 20-16 victory this weekend, Arizona State's only win in school history against Lehigh came last season. In addition, Zeke Jones hadn't beaten Lehigh since 2007 when he coached at Penn before last season's victory.

    However, the Sun Devils have captured its second consecutive win against a worthy opponent. Tony Negron kicked off the dual with a 5-2 decision victory to give the Sun Devils a 3-0 lead. Cael Valencia continues to show signs of progression as he won in a sudden victory over Jake Logan.

    Arizona State's heavyweights continued to shuffle around and struggle as Shay Addison and Damion Schunke fell lost by major decisions and fall.

    Yet, Arizona State's superstars shined the Sun Devils to the team victory. Brandon Courtney captured his 99th career victory and Michael McGee snuck past Connor McGonagle 8-6. Kyle Parco picked up a tech fall over Manzona Bryant and Cohlton Schultz defeated Nathan Taylor 3-2.

    ASU will host Little Rock on Friday night in a Pac-12 matchup then travel to Oregon State for a huge dual on Sunday night.
