    Rehm's 100th career win highlights Lock Haven's win at Clarion

    CLARION, Pa. -- Bobby Rehm (Lancaster, Pa./Penn Manor) picked up his 100th career victory, sparking the Lock Haven University wrestling team to an important 24-19 Eastern Wrestling League (EWL) win at Clarion University tonight.

    Rehm's historic win at 133 pounds was one of six on the night for the Bald Eagles, who moved back to .500 on the season (7-7) and to 2-1 in league action.

    Bonus points at 141 and 165 kept Clarion (6-11, 2-4 EWL) in the match down the stretch, but with Lock Haven leading 20-13, Phil Sprenkle (Seven Valleys, Pa./Dallastown) sealed the team victory with a major decision at 197 pounds.

    Rehm became the 17th member of LHU's 100-win club, joining teammate and fellow Lancaster Country, Pennsylvania native Dan Neff (Quarryville, Pa./Solanco), who reached the milestone just two weeks ago.

    Rehm's 100th win came in dominating fashion, as he picked up a first-period tech fall, 18-0.

    Jake Field (South Elgin, Ill./Marmion Academy), Aaron McKinney (McDonald, Pa./West Allegheny) and Tristan Sponseller (East Berlin, Pa./Bermudian Springs) rounded out the Lock Haven winners tonight.

    Field returned the starting lineup and quickly put LHU up 3-0 after an 8-4 win at 125.

    Rehm dominated Clarion's Roshaun Cooley from the opening whistle and his tech fall put Lock Haven up 8-0 early.

    Following a Clarion pin at 141, Neff (149) responded in a big way, recording a pin of his own. Neff's pin had Lock Haven in control, 14-6.

    The win was Neff's 12 straight and he remained unbeaten (12-0) since moving back to 149 pounds on December 17, 2015. Last season, Neff was an All-American at 149.

    McKinney won at 157, making it two straight for LHU and the Bald Eagles led 17-6 midway through the match.

    Clarion didn't go away however and rattle off two straight victories at 165 and 174, cutting the LHU lead to just four points, 17-13 with three bouts remaining.

    Sponseller grinded out a 4-2 win at 184 and Sprenkle's major decision at 197 sealed the win, and put Clarion away.

    The Bald Eagles return home and host Cleveland State on Sunday, January 31 at 1 p.m.
