The Royals won three of four bouts to cut a 16-7 deficit down to 15-13 heading into the final bout of the match. The Presidents' Ty Sampsell then sealed the win by posting a 3-0 decision over junior Joe Williams (Florham Park, N.J./Hanover Park) in the 285-pound weight class.
Scranton, now 2-7, got wins from freshman Vinny Signoriello (Manalapan, N.J./Manalapan) at 133, senior Mike Guenther (Pittstown, N.J./Delaware Valley Regional) at 157, sophomore Matthew Terry (East Northport, N.Y./St. Anthony's) at 174, and senior Kevin DiGiulio (Philadelphia, Pa./Roman Catholic).
Signoriello was in control from start to finish in his 8-0 major decision over Brandon Sansom. He posted take-downs in each of the three periods and picked up two more points on an escape and with 2:52 in riding time to improve his season record to 7-2.
Guenther, who earned his team-leading 10th win of the season, overcame a 1-0 third period deficit by posting an escape and two take-downs to pull out a 5-2 decision against Brandon Roshon.
Terry got the Royals to within six points with a 5-1 decision over Eric Kohr before Kevin DiGiulio picked up a point on an escape and another on a penalty to squeeze out a 2-1 decision. DiGiulio's win, coupled with a point deduction against the Presidents for unsportsmanlike conduct, cut the deficit to two, 15-13, entering the final match. Sampsell used a take-down in the first period and picked up a point for an escape in the third and held on for the match-deciding victory at 285.
With the wins, Terry and DiGiulio improved to 4-8 and 3-6 on the season, respectively.
The Royals will return to action this Saturday, November 21, at the Red Dragon Invitational on the campus of Oneonta State University in Oneonta, New York.
