Middletown, CT – Williams Wrestling traveled down to Central Connecticut this afternoon to face off with Ithaca, SUNY Oneonta, and the hosts, Wesleyan, in dual meets. The Ephs went 1-2 on the day, completing the NESCAC season sweep in the process.
David Yeh and
Peter Kane were the standout performers, each going 3-0 in their bouts.
In the first match of the day, the Ephs were paired with Little-Three foe Wesleyan. Thanks to
David Yeh, Williams took the lead to start the duel and they never surrendered it, picking up wins in seven of 10 weight classes en route to a 22-11 victory. This victory over the Cardinals means that the Ephs close the NESCAC schedule with a 3-0 record, sweeping Trinity in addition to today's win.
Next up for the Ephs were the Ithaca Bombers. The Ephs got off to a good start once again, carrying a narrow 13-9 lead heading into the back-half of the bouts. Ithaca was able to take over control in the final five bouts though, leading them to a 36-13 victory over the Ephs.
In the final match of the day, SUNY Oneonta sat across the mat from Williams. Yet again, Williams held the lead following the first five bouts thanks to wins from Yeh, Kane, and
Caleb Seyfried. Unfortunately, Oneonta was able to overcome their three-point deficit, winning each of the remaining bouts besides 197 where
Elias Chen delivered six points to the Ephs via a dominant performance and pin. This left Oneonta with a 31-18 win.
Reflecting on his team's performance today, Head Coach
Scott Honecker had this to say: "Good day of wrestling for us today. We got hard competitive matches and good film and data points as we prepare for the culmination of the season. We had guys out and had to move some dudes around. While there's no moral victories, I am very proud of the guys who had to wrestle out of weight class today. They all fought their butts off and we got some nice wins to show for their tough attitude and hard wrestling."
The team will be back in action this coming Friday at Castleton for a dual meet with their NEWA rivals kicking off at 7:00 pm.
