WILLIAMSTOWN, MA - In their second match of the day, the Ephs
defeated Simpson College for the first time in ten years,
26-14. Tri-Captain Ethan Cohen '09 got the Ephs started, by
tech-falling his opponent in the closing seconds of the match,
earning five points. The Ephs also received strong performances
from sophomores Carl Breitenstein and Nate Shippee, each winning
two matches on the day. Shippee scored six points twice for the
Ephs winning by default and by pin.
Head coach Dan DiCenzo was pleased to see his team in peak
condition coming off a two week break from competition. DiCenzo
said of today's matches, "Our performance shows that our program
has improved to the point where we can compete with top teams in
the country." The Ephs came into the meet ranked 23rd in
the nation, their highest ranking in team history.
Saturday the 2-1 Ephs will host the Williams Invitational
Tournament.
