    Bloomsburg, PA -- Freshman Vinny Vespa recorded a second period pin at 133 to lead the Hofstra Pride to a 30-9 non-conference victory over the Huskies of Bloomsburg University at Nelson Field House Friday night. The Pride evened their season record to 2-2 while the Huskies fell to 3-7 on the year.

    Vespa recorded his second win by fall of the season with a pin of Bloomsburg's Matt Noble at the 4:39 mark of their 133-pound match. Vespa's win, which evened his season record at 8-8, gave the Pride a 9-0 lead after Jacob Martin's 8-4 decision win over Willy Girard at 125. Martin improved to 8-12 on the season.

    Hofstra won the next two matches in the contest to build an 18-0 lead as Connor Burkert (7-9) won by forfeit at 141 and Ryan Burkert posted an 8-3 win over Nate Newberry at 149. Ryan Burkert is now 10-9 on the season.

    Bloomsburg got on the board with consecutive wins at 157 and 165. Kevin Laubach defeated Jake Kaminsky (10-11) at 157, 11-4 and Reid Stanley topped Bobby Fehr (3-7) at 165, 3-1 to close the deficit to 18-6. But Hofstra's Sage Heller recorded his fifth consecutive victory with a 9-3 decision over Trevor Allard at 174, 9-3. Heller is 18-7 in his freshman season.

    The Huskies notched their third and final win of the contest at 184 as Kyle Murphy edged Michael Oxley (7-11), 3-2 on the riding time point.
