After a 6-0 decision from No. 12 Zack Kemmerer at 141 pounds gave Penn a 7-4 lead, the Quakers did not regain the lead until Burak's bonus-point win. Bucknell did not have a heavyweight in the lineup, adding six more points for the Quakers and the final score.
After each team registered a major decision to start the dual, the two sides traded decisions over the next six bouts, with each side gaining three. No. 14 Bryan Ortenzio evened the match at 4-4 with a convincing 14-2 major over Shawn Armato at 133 pounds, giving himself plenty of breathing room with a 10-point first period on two takedowns and a pair of three-point nearfall maneuvers.
Kemmerer was more workmanlike with his 6-0 decision, with a takedown in both the first and second periods and considerable riding time at the end of the bout.
After Mark Pinero could not rally from allowing a five-point trip in the first period and ultimately losing, 8-2, at 149 pounds Troy Hernandez suffered the first of two last-second losses for Penn as he was defeated at 157, 5-4, by John Regan. Hernandez led, 3-2, after two periods, and upped that lead to 4-2 with an escape in the final stanza before Regan took him down with under ten seconds remaining to tie the match. Regan had accumulated 1:55 of riding time throughout the bout and that was the deciding point.
The Quakers regained momentum with a win by Lorenzo Thomas at 165 pounds. Thomas struggled out of the gate against Corey Lear, allowing a takedown in the first period and a reversal in the second to put himself in a 4-0 hole. Undaunted, Thomas rallied with an escape and a Peterson for a takedown and three backpoints before the end of the second period to take a 6-4 lead. In the third, he added a takedown and despite a late Lear reversal, Thomas took a 9-6 decision.
Canaan Bethea made his first dual start of the season for the Quakers at 174 and led the entire way until Stephen McPeak scored with one second left for a 4-3 decision. Bethea had the only other takedown of the bout in the first ten seconds of the match and had escaped to start the third and take the lead.
With Bucknell leading, Erich Smith gave the Quakers a chance to get the win via his 6-2 decision at 184 pounds. Smith scored a takedown midway through the first period on Jamie Westwood and broke a 2-2 tie with an escape and takedown in the third period on his way to the win.
The tie was broke via Burak's big major decision over Tyler Lyster where he scored five takedowns and a reversal for the 13-5 win.
Penn is now 7-6 overall in duals and is 4-3 against EIWA teams. The Quakers finish the regular season next Saturday at Princeton with a 1 p.m. start.
