The Yellow Jackets (6-8) picked up bonus points in four of their eight win, including a forfeit to junior Alex Crown at 125 pounds. It was his 20th win of the year and put the home team up 6-0. Things weren't nearly as easy for freshman 133-pounder Jake Vitolo who went to overtime in his bout with Josue Rodriguez. The two battled through seven minutes of regulation before the contest was finally decided by a takedown in overtime by Vitolo that gave him the 11-9 win and clinched the team victory for Waynesburg.
Ohio Valley (2-3) got on the board with a decision win at 141 pounds to trim the Jackets' lead to 9-3, but the Orange and Black fired back in a big way, scoring wins in each of the next five weight classes. Freshman Chris Milligan took down Dane Niday by 9-3 decision and senior Garett Johnston followed with an 18-8 major decision at 157 pounds.
With his team up 16-3, sophomore 165-pounder Sam Lombardo recorded his own major decision by a 21-9 score and freshman Ryan Walters picked up the only pin of the night in 2:40 over Colby Richards. Junior 184-pounder Cody Catalina wrapped up the winning streak by downing Seth Jack 8-1 for his seventh-straight win.
After OVU picked up a decision win at 197, sophomore heavyweight Brandon Fedorka ended the night with a 2-0 triumph over Blake Lucas to wrap up the 26-point win.
Waynesburg will host its final home match of the season tomorrow night, when the Jackets welcome Penn State Beaver, Penn State Fayette and Penn State Greater Allegheny for a quad-match. Start time is at 6 p.m. and the Yellow Jackets will honor five of their own for senior night.
