LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Lock Haven University wrestling team is set for a busy week of action as the Bald Eagles hit the mats for a trio of duals.

Lock Haven kicks off the week on Thursday, December 9 at Lewistown High School in Lewistown, Pa. in a tri-match with visiting Millersville and Ohio Universities.

On Sunday, December 12, the Bald Eagles will travel the short distance to take on local-rival Penn State, ranked No. 6 in the nation.

The match on Sunday at PSU is set for a 2 p.m. start.

The Bald Eagles are coming off a fourth-place showing at the 68th annual Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Championships. The Haven was led by redshirt-sophomore Harry Turner (Howell, N.J./Howell), who took home the individual title at 285-pounds.

Evan Kolb (Coopersburg, Pa./Bethlehem Catholic) and Mike Khoury (Edgewater, N.J./Saint Joseph Regional) both took second for LHU at 133 and 174, respectively.

Lock Haven is 2-1 in dual action after starting the year at the Hershey Duals back on November 13.

Lock Haven dropped its first match of the day, falling to North Carolina 19-16, but the Bald Eagles bounced back with wins over George Mason (23-12) and Drexel (23-21).

Matt Bonson (Lewistown, Pa./UVA), who will be out of the lineup this week had a huge day for the Bald Eagles and went 3-0 at 141-pounds in dominating fashion. He opened the day with a 6-4 over North Carolina's Danny Lopes.

Bonson followed that up with a tech fall win in the George Mason match and added a 13-1 major decision over Drexel's Josh Yurasits.

Turner was also 3-0 at 285-pounds and then clinched the win over Drexel with a solid 5-0 win against Max Wright.

Seth Creasy (Mercer, Pa./Mercer) was solid for The Haven. After dropping his first bout of the day, he responded in a huge way with sensational performances against George Mason and Drexel.

Creasy picked up a 10-2 major decision over George Mason's Ty Knepp and cruised past Drexel's Charles Aungst 10-0 for his second consecutive major.

Khoury, a true-freshman bounced back from a loss to open the day with a pair of wins to close things out.

Khoury has been a huge key for Lock Haven thus far and was also crowned champion at the Mat Town Open.
