    Boston U. posts win over Brown

    PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Competing in its final road dual of the season, the Boston University wrestling team posted a 23-15 victory over Brown on Saturday afternoon to improve to 4-9 overall and 2-8 against EIWA opponents.

    The Terriers never trailed in the match, picking up wins in five of the first six bouts to take a commanding 19-3 lead.

    Junior Tyler Scotton (141) and senior Alex Najjar (197) both earned major decisions. Sophomore Dane Harlowe (133), senior Nestor Taffur (157) and junior Mitchell Wightman (165) were all victorious as well and senior Bubba McGinley started off the match with a forfeit win at 125.

    After the forfeit, Harlowe posted a 10-3 triumph at 133 and Scotton followed with a 14-6 major to give the visitors an early 13-0 lead.

    Brown (3-9, 2-8 EIWA) got on the board at 149 when senior Nick Tourville fell, 9-6, to Steven Galiardo, but BU responded with back-to-back wins. Taffur defeated Justin Staudenmayer by a score of 10-3 before Wightman blanked Philip Marano, 5-0.

    The Bears tried to get back into the match, as Ricky McDonald edged BU sophomore Colin Saunders, 4-3, at 174 before freshman Aaron Conrad was pinned at 3:35 of his match against Brown's Ophir Bernstein at 184.

    BU ended any hopes of a Brown comeback when Najjar came through with a 15-6 triumph over Augustus Marker at 197.

    In the final bout, senior Kevin Innis fell to Ryder Cavey, 6-2, at heavyweight.

    The Terriers will return to action on Saturday (Feb. 22) when they welcome Sacred Heart to Case Gym for the final dual of the season. The match will start at 5 p.m.
