    Pitt-Johnstown rolls to 34-9 PSAC win at East Stroudsburg

    The sixth-ranked Pitt-Johnstown wrestlers took advantage of a pair of technical falls and pins from No. 12 Levi Niebauer at 197 lbs. and No. 11 D.J. Sims at 285 lbs. to close out a solid, 34-9 PSAC victory at East Stroudsburg, Wednesday night in East Stroudsburg. The Mountain Cats improved to 4-1 overall and 2-0 in the PSAC.

    The Warriors took an early 3-0 with Victor Lopez's 5-4 decision over Matt Siszka at 125 lbs., but Pitt-Johnstown responded with a 14-7 win by Sam Holandez at 133 lbs. and a 17-0 technical fall at 3:27 by fifth-ranked Chris Eddins at 141 lbs. to build an 8-3 lead of its own.

    East Stroudsburg kept it close and got a narrow 3-2 decision from Blake Cohen at 149 lbs., but second-ranked Cody Law recorded Pitt-Johnstown's second technical fall of the evening when he downed Marquan Payne,, 20-4, at 6:36 to increase it to 13-6.

    The Warriors pulled off an upset at 165 lbs. with Mike Raccioppi's 9-3 decision over 11th-ranked Devin Austin.

    However, No. 2 Tyler Reinhart won by disqualification at 174 lbs. to make it 19-9. Reinhart was leading 15-3 with three seconds left in the third period over Joe Guzzo, when Guzzo was hit with his fifth stalling call of the match.

    Pitt-Johnstown pulled away from there. At 184 lbs., Brodie Englert held off Paul Rallis, 2-1, and Niebauer and Sims each won by fall to wrap up the 34-9 victory. Niebauer pinned Daniel Makagon at 1:48 at 197 lbs., and Sims followed with a fall over Hunter Marhan at 4:55.

    With the loss, the Warriors are 0-1 overall and 0-1 in the PSAC.

    Pitt-Johnstown travels to seventh-ranked Ashland (OH) University on December 2 and to the 2017 PSAC Championships on December 9. The Mountain Cats will wrestle their next home match on January 20 when Wheeling Jesuit (WV) University visits the Sports Center.
