    Roger Williams crushes Coast Guard

    BRISTOL, R.I. -- The Roger Williams University Wrestling team (1-0) crushed the U.S.Coast Guard Academy 37-6 in the Pilgrim League opener for both teams.

    In the night's first match, Coast Guard's Nate Giorgio, ranked sixth in the nation at 125-pounds, earned six points for the Bears with a pin at 6:03. However, this would be the only scoring for the Bears as the Hawks would go on to sweep the remaining weight classes.

    At 165-pounds, sophomore Collin Crowell (Hampstead, N.H.) won 13-4. Junior 197-pounder Philip Ernst (Succasunna, N.J.) won by tech fall, 19-3.

    In the closest match of the evening, junior Jack DiBurro (Haverhill, Mass.) and Virgil Moreno would battle at 174-pounds to a 1-1 stalemate but DiBiurro would claim the victory for the Hawks with 2:31 of riding time.

    After the match Coach Jon Egan was proud of his team and stated, “It was a great start to our dual meet season. Coast Guard had beaten us last year and we had a bit of a chip on our shoulder since then. It was nice to see our guys getting after it and raising the level of intensity.”

    The Hawks travel to Norwich on Saturday, December 10 for a non-league contest. The Bears (0-1) conclude their first semester schedule and will resume with the North/South Duals at Ursinus College on January 7, 2012.
