    Clarion dominates Messiah in dual finale

    CLARION, Pa. -- The Golden Eagle wrestling team closed out their dual match season with a dominant victory at home, cruising to a 35-6 win over Messiah College in Tippin Gymnasium on Friday night. Clarion closes out their dual season with a 3-5 overall record as they prep for the 2021 MAC Championships at Rider in two weeks.

    In some ways, the final score was not indicative of the drama throughout the dual, as Messiah kept it close in some crucial moments. The Golden Eagles actually overcame an early team deficit during the team match, eventually taking the lead for good after Joe Sliwoski's major decision over Jake Coniglio. Though there were close individual bouts the rest of the way, Clarion did not drop a match in the team dual the rest of the way.

    Cam Butler and Kyle Schickel eked out tight decisions in the light weights, with the latter winning on a 7-6 tiebreaker after riding Dalton Daugherty out. Sliwoski scored a dominant dual win during his senior night, notching a 12-4 major decision over Jake Coniglio to put Clarion ahead 10-6. They shut the Falcons out the rest of the way, starting with a 6-1 decision by Tate Ortz over Nick Barnhart and a 15-3 major decision by Kolby Ho. Caleb Hetrick and Max Wohlabaugh added decisions at 174 and 184, respectively, but the Golden Eagles' heaviest weights were the ones to put the final nails in the coffin. Ryan Weinzen worked Spencer Clements over for a win by fall with 24 seconds left in the second period, and Ty Bagoly flattened Carter Urich late in the first period to set the final deficit.

    As it turned out, the Golden Eagles were dominant during the extra match session as well, with Messiah's only win coming on an injury default. Eight of those wins came by fall, including two each for TJ England and John Worthing.
