    Pitt grabs school-record 15th win at West Virginia

    The 18th-ranked Pitt wrestling team claimed their school-record 15th dual win of the season Tuesday night with a 19-15 win on the road at West Virginia to improve to 15-1-1 on the year.

    The 2009-10 Pitt squad surpassed its 1994-95 team, which tallied a 14-9 record. The Panthers tied the record last week against Millersville with a 53-0 win and now sit at 15-1-1 overall and 4-0 in EWL action.

    Pitt and Eastern Wrestling League rival West Virginia split the 10 bouts, but the Panthers came up with two bonus-point wins to take the four-point victory. Sophomore Tyler Nauman (Middletown, Pa./Middletown) pinned Ryan Romano at 141 in 2:30. At 184 Zac Thomusseit (St. Paris, Ohio/St. Paris Graham) earned a 10-2 major decision over Robert DeSano.

    Also earning wins on the night were Anthony Zanetta (Pittsburgh, Pa./Keystone Oaks) with a 5-4 decision over Shane Young at 125; Donnie Tasser (Belle Vernon, Pa./Belle Vernon) defeated Kyle Easton 4-2 at 157 and David Sullivan (Dingmans Ferry, Pa./Delaware Valley) earned a decision over Matt Weston, 2-1 at 174.

    Pitt returns to action Thursday, Feb. 11 at 7 p.m. as the Panthers host Clarion at Fitzgerald Field House. The Panthers have just two regular season matches remaining this season, including Thursday against Clarion and Feb. 19 against Edinboro at home.
