Dec. 20, 2008

Contact: Ryan Mulford

Lewisburg, PA - In their first dual competition since John Carroll (Nov. 25), the Vikings came out and obliterated Wagner, by a score of 46-3, in the first ever meeting between the two programs. Cleveland State won nine of the 10 contested matches including two tech. falls and four pin falls.

The dual started at 125 pounds with Jordan Keller winning by forfeit. Josh Palivoda recorded the first of two tech falls for the Vikings with a 16-1 victory over Tyler Harmer.

Lawrence Cavello notched his sixth victory of the season with a 3-1 decision over Ryan Cornell. Senior Antonio Nicholson also tallied a 9-3 decision over Wagner's Jake Villaret, giving him 12 victories on the season.

At 157 pounds, Corey Carlo recorded the second tech fall for the Vikings with an 18-3 victory over Nick Dalcero.

The Vikings continued their success with two consecutive pins at 165 pounds with Rob Michaels and at 174 pounds with JT Miller. Michaels tallied a pin at 0:41, giving him his seventh win of the season and his third by way of pin fall. Miller earned his second pin fall of the season taking down Ryan Malloy in 5:36.

After a Dustin Doty loss at 184 pounds, the Vikings slammed the door shut with two more pin falls to close the match. Sophomore Eric Schwartz recorded his first victory of the season with a pin fall over Vinny Tortorella in just 1:13, while Rashard Goff only needed 0:41 to pin Mark Wagner, to give the senior his team high 15 win of the season.
