DYK-2?

 LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Lock Haven University wrestling team (6-8, 3-2 EWL) split a pair of Eastern Wrestling League (EWL) duals today on the road, downing Cleveland State (1-7, 0-3 EWL), before falling to No. 25 Edinboro (7-4, 5-0 EWL).

LHU cruised to a 35-9 win over Cleveland State, before falling to Edinboro, 28-9.

The Bald Eagles were originally scheduled to take on Cleveland State last night, but transportation issues delayed Lock Haven's arrival into Cleveland and postponed the dual until noon today, and set up the Friday EWL doubleheader.

Lock Haven opened the day with a dominating 35-9 victory over host Cleveland State. The Bald Eagles won eight of 10 bouts with six of those wins coming by way of bonus points. LHU racked up three tech falls, two major decisions and a pin.

Adam Mackie (Bechtelsville, Pa./Brandywine Heights) picked up the pin at 184 and DJ Fehlman (Warren, Pa./Warren), Kyle Shoop (Boiling Springs, Pa./Boiling Springs) and Thomas Haines (Quarryville, Pa./Ohio State) all won by tech fall. Jonathan Ross (Dillsburg, Pa./Northern York) and Tristan Sponseller (East Berlin, Pa./Bermudian Springs) both posted major decisions. Jake Field (South Elgin, Ill./Marmion Academy) and Jared Siegrist (Manheim, Pa./Manheim Central) added victories for Lock Haven.

Field won by decision at 125 and Fehlman (133) followed it up with the first of three Haven tech falls, and it was all Lock Haven from there as the Bald Eagles dominated the Vikings. With the win, LHU snapped a two-match losing streak to Cleveland State.

Following the win over Cleveland State, the Bald Eagles packed up and hit the road on the 94 mile journey to Edinboro to cap the rare day-night road doubleheader.

No. 25 Edinboro's lineup featured six guys ranked in the first edition of the NCAA Coaches' Panel rankings and the Fighting Scots pulled away for Lock Haven on the way to a 28-9 win.

Lewis Williams (Bloomsburg, Pa./Central Columbia), Sponseller and Haines all won for LHU vs. Edinboro. Both Siegrist and Mackie turned in solid efforts despite losses.

Williams posted a hard-fought 5-3 overtime win at 141 and Sponseller grinded out a 2-1 win at 197.

In the most anticipated match of the night, Haines, ranked No. 15, beat No. 12 Billy Miller, 4-3 thanks to a riding time point. The two were tied 3-3 after two periods. The win was Haines' second over Miller this season as he also took down the Edinboro heavyweight in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) finals by an identical 4-3 score.

Now the Bald Eagles return home to Thomas Fieldhouse for a number of events. Next Thursday, February 2, LHU will host Clarion in an EWL dual (7 p.m.), before hosting Sacred Heart on Friday (Feb. 3) at 7 p.m. On Sunday, February 5, LHU will host the Mat-Town Open II Tournament (9:30 a.m.).
