"It was a great day of wrestling," head coach John Stutzman said. "We scrapped hard and I'm so proud of these guys."
Derek Spann continued his domination at 133 lbs. and will likely make his way into the national rankings next week. The redshirt-sophomore won all three of his matches with a pin and two major decisions. Spann won by fall over Cleveland State's Armando Torres in the third period. He followed with a 16-7 major decision over VMI's Hunter Starner and an 11-0 major decision over Bucknell's Brett Rezendes.
Bryan Lantry had similar results at 141 lbs. The nation's 11th-ranked wrestler also won by a pin and two major decisions. Lantry pinned Cleveland State's Kyle Hennig midway through the second period. He followed with a 12-2 major decision over VMI's Dominick Gallo and a 13-5 major decision over Bucknell's Matthew Kolonia.
At 184, Logan Rill also went 3-0 on the day. Rill earned a 3-1 decision over Cleveland State's Chris Morrow, a 4-1 decision over VMI's Max Gallahan and a 3-1 sudden victory over Bucknell's Kyle Inlander.
Heavyweight Jake Gunning won both of his matches on the day. He earned a 15-0 tech fall over VMI's Tre Momon in his first match of the day. In the win, he registered his 100th career takedown, becoming just the 12th wrestler in program history to reach the milestone. Gunning also defeated Bucknell's Brandon Stokes by major decision.
Another highlight on the day included Noah Grover's pin in just 50 seconds over Bucknell's D.J. Hollingshead at 165.
The Bulls will next compete at the Army Invitational next Sunday.
