Last time out (Binghamton Open/Sunday, Nov. 11):
The Bald Eagles put forth a very solid early-season effort on Sunday at the Binghamton Open and LHU head coach Robbie Waller has a lot to be excited about as The Haven hits the mats Friday night for their first taste of dual-match action.
Leading the way for LHU on Sunday was junior-transfer
Mac Maldarelli (Merrick, N.Y./Nassau C.C.) and senior
Harry Turner (Howell, N.J./Howell) led the way for the Bald Eagles as they took second at 149 and 285, respectively.
Maldarelli went 5-1 at 149, while Turner was 3-1 at 285.
Redshirt-freshman
Dan Neff (Quarryville, Pa./Solanco) was third at 141, sophomore
Bobby Rehm (Lancaster, Pa./Penn Manor) was fifth at 125 and redshirt-sophomore
Jordan Rich (Lock Haven, Pa./Central Mountain) was sixth at 149 to round out a sensational effort for the Bald Eagles.
Maldarelli went 5-0 on the way to the final at 149, winning 12-1, 4-0, 8-0, 8-4 and 8-3. In the finals, Maldarelli met the tournament's top-seed in Binghamton's Donnie Vinson. Vinson is ranked No. 4 nationally and won 17-3.
Turner went 3-0 on the way to the finals at 285. He won 8-3, 6-2 and 6-2 on the way to the championship-bout. Turner dropped the title-bout, 9-1 to Penn State's Jon Gingrich.
