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.
