Wrestling dominates Bloomsburg, 31-3

Lock Haven wins nine of 10 bouts, snaps losing streak to Huskies

BLOOMSBURG, Pa. – The Lock Haven University wrestling team won nine of 10 bouts and the Bald Eagles dominated Bloomsburg University on the way to a 31-3 Eastern Wrestling League (EWL) win.
 
Lock Haven (6-12, 3-3 EWL) won the first six bouts of the night and picked up bonus points in a pair of matches on the way to the lopsided win that snapped a 10-match losing streak to the Huskies.
 
Jake Field (South Elgin, Ill./Marmion Academy), No. 33 Ronnie Perry (Christiana, Pa./Solanco), Bobby Rehm (Lancaster, Pa./Penn Manor), No. 24 Dan Neff (Quarryville, Pa./Solanco), Elias Biddle (Turbotville, Pa./Warrior Run), Aaron McKinney (McDonald, Pa./West Allegheny), Adam Mackie (Bechtelsville, Pa./Brandywine Heights), Phil Sprenkle (Seven Valleys, Pa./Dallastown) and Brad Emerick (Wilkes-Barre, Pa./Coughlin) all won for LHU.
 
With the win, Lock Haven picked up its sixth win of the season and moved to 3-3 in EWL action. The third league-win marks Lock Haven's most EWL wins since the Bald Eagles were 3-3 during the 2004-05 season.
 
Highlighting the win was Neff's major decision at 149 and a pin from Mackie, who was filling in at 184 pounds for Fred Garcia (Donora, Pa./Ringgold) tonight. Mackie needed just 52 seconds to drop Bloom's Brad Miccio.
 
Garcia will enter tomorrow's match – his final match at home with 99 career wins, as he looks to become the 16th LHU wrestler to win 100 or more matches for a career.
 
Bloomsburg's (0-11, 0-6 EWL) only win of the night came at 174 pounds.
 
The Bald Eagles will turn right around and hit the mats at home tomorrow (Friday, Feb. 20) at 7 p.m. when LHU hosts Grand Canyon in The Haven's 2014-15 regular season-finale. Tomorrow marks Senior Night (Fred Garcia, Elias Biddle & Ty Albright), Military Appreciation Night and there will be a special LHU Wrestling National Champion Poster presentation. Festivities will begin at 6:45 p.m.
