Junior Pat Feely (Johnston, R.I.) earned a win by fall (1:33) at 125 lbs. over sophomore Brad Warren (Brookeville, Md.) to put Sacred Heart (1-3) up 6-0. Sophomore Anthony Ricco (Paramus, N.J.) made it 10-0 Pioneers with a major decision (16-4) over freshman Ryan Neugebauer (Baldwin, N.Y.), and senior Cory Dunn (Rutherford, N.J.) followed with a pin of senior Frank Maselli (Rye, N.Y.). Duck freshman Ryan Owens (Fallston, Md.) lost by pin fall to junior Paul Galipeau (Randolph, N.J.) to make it 22-0 SHU, but senior Charles Favia (Brick, N.J.) came out and wrestled well for Stevens (0-1) at 157 lbs. to really change the momentum. Though the Duck captain lost an extremely tight, 6-5 decision, he battled hard, taking junior Anthony Priore (Garwood, N.J.) to the brink.
Following a 10-minute intermission after Charles Favia’s battle, brother Joe Favia put the Ducks on the board with an 8-3 decision over Jonathan Rizzitello (Paramus, N.J.) at 165. Up 4-1 heading into the third period, Favia earned an escape early on and a take down at the midway point to seal the win.
Bishop made it 25-6 with a 10-4 decision in the 174-lb. weight class. After senior Michael Hartman (Cranston, R.I.) took a 2-1 lead into the second, Bishop really changed the momentum and controlled things the rest of the way. He earned three points in period number two before outscoring Hartman 5-1 in the final two minutes.
Termini earned six team points with a win by forfeit at 184 lbs. and after senior Ernie Guaimano (Hillsborough, N.J.) dropped a close, 2-0 decision at 197, Roarty, a co-captain, ended the evening with a nice win at heavyweight. He defeated junior Paul Schwighhardt (Tinton Falls, N.J.), 3-1, and controlled the match. He got a reversal early in the third and added more than three minutes of riding time.
Stevens will return to action when it heads to the Doug Parker Invitational on November 21. After a break for the Thanksgiving holiday, the Ducks will head to the Messiah College Invitational in Grantham, Pa. before looking for their first dual-match win when they host Elizabethtown College on December 11.
