    Drexel edges Bloomsburg

    Bloomsburg, Pa. -- Drexel continued its hot streak as the Dragons defeated Bloomsburg, 18-15, in a non-conference dual meet held at Nelson Field House on Bloomsburg's campus. Drexel has now won four of its last five matches and has an overall record of 16-10.

    The match opened with one of the most anticipated match-ups as 10th-ranked Mike Sees took on reigning CAA Rookie of the Year, Steve Mytych at 125 pounds. Sees would win in a 6-4 decision but the Dragons' Billy Martin earned Drexel three points with a 4-3 decision over Jason Guffey at 133 pounds. Bloomsburg responded by winning the next two matches before Drexel's Ryan Hluschak came up big again for the Dragons. With Bloomsburg holding a 9-3 match score advantage, Drexel's 157-pounder earned a win by fall over Dennis Bermudez at 6:08 to even the match at 9-9. Billy Haydt and Nick Kozar each followed with wins to extend the Drexel lead to 14-9. Bloomsburg got to within two points as Nate Shirk took the 184-pound match with a 9-2 win over Brian Stouffer. Drexel's Jon Oplinger responded with his fifth straight victory, all with bonus points, as he earned a major decision victory over P.J. DiStefano. Bloomsburg would take the heavyweight match by a 7-5 decision, but the three points were not enough as the Dragons claimed an 18-15 victory.

    Drexel's next match will be on Thursday, Feb. 15 as the Dragons will host Rutgers. The first match will begin at 7:00 p.m.
