    Princeton tops Franklin & Marshall

    The Class of 2017 came into the Princeton wrestling room four years ago determined to build a winning culture. They did so by never experiencing a losing season.

    For the first time in 30 years, a Tiger senior class posted four straight .500-or-better seasons, although it took until the final dual of their careers to clinch that milestone. Princeton brought an 8-8 record into Lancaster, Pa., but a quick start led the Tigers to a 28-9 win at EIWA rival Franklin & Marshall.

    While head coach Chris Ayres rested his NCAA Championship-qualifying senior trio of Brett Harner, Jordan Laster and Ray O'Donnell, it was classmate Max Rogers who helped Princeton finish the season with a 9-8 dual record. Rogers picked up his 10th win of the season with a 12-2 major decision at 149, which helped Princeton race out to a 15-3 lead. Starters Ty Agaisse and Pat D'Arcy opened with decisions, while sophomore Mike D'Angelo added a 17-0 technical fall at 157.

    Ayres was able to see three of his younger wrestlers close the dual, starting with a 9-1 major decision for Kevin Parker. Carlin Powell moved up two weights and gutted out a 2-1 win at 197, while freshman Christian Araneo closed the match with a first-period fall at heavyweight.

    Princeton will be off next weekend, but it will return to the mat in two weeks to compete in the 2017 EIWA Championships at Bucknell.
