    American wins eight matches by bonus points in 38-9 win over South Dakota State

    WASHINGTON -- The American University wrestling team won eight matches by bonus points Sunday afternoon in a 38-9 dismantling of South Dakota State on the road. Three Eagles won by fall and five won by major decision as AU lost only match they contested.

    Adam LoPiccolo (Glen Rock, Pa./Glen Rock) started the match off with his 20th win of the year by fall in the first period. Matt Morkel (Omaha, Neb./Skutt) and Jordan Lipp (Beachwood, Oh./Beachwood) pushed AU's lead to 14-0, both winning by major decision. Lipp has now won 10 of his last 11 matches.

    After an American forfeit at 141, Tom Kniezewski (Boyertown, Pa./Boyertown) scored his second pin in as many matches for his 21st win of the year. Christopher Stout (Hackettstown, N.J./Blair Academy), Rudy Rueda (Waldorf, Md./DeMatha) and Dwayne Hash-Barberis (Scotia, N.Y./Scotia Glenville) followed with major decision victories to clinch the match for AU.

    Like Kniezewski at 149, No. 1 Josh Glenn (Johnson City, N.Y./Johnson City) won by fall for the second time in as many matches pushing his record to 26-1 on the year. Glenn lead the EIWA in pins with 17 on the year.

    With the win, the Eagles move to 12-6 on the year in duals. Tomorrow they face off against North Dakota State in their last dual of the year before the EIWA Tournament, which takes place in two weeks.
