The Yellow Jacket mat men split up into two teams and faced off in 12 matches. Most of the contests were used to help fill out the open spots in the team's starting lineup and several Jacket newcomers looked ready to jump right into major roles with the 30th-ranked squad.
Freshman Luke Lohr went 2-0 on the day with a 6-3 decision win over classmate Sam Lombardo and a win by fall over junior Steffan Chaussard. The wins gave Lohr an inside track on the starting 149-pound job.
Another first-year grappler, Colton Blumer went 2-0 in 133-pound matches against classmates Levi Hosselrode and Dan Bruni. Blumer squeaked past Hosselrode 2-1, and followed that up with a 5-1 triumph over Bruni.
Waynesburg has a big hole to fill at the heavyweight. First-year competitors Marty Kisla and Josh Mihalik battled through regulation and six overtime periods in the longest match of the day. Kisla finally finished off the bout with a 5-4 decision win.
After all was said and done, the Waynesburg Black team squeaked out a 29-25 victory over the orange squad. The Jackets are back on the mats on Saturday, Nov. 6, when they compete at the Messiah Invitational in Grantham, Pa.
