    Eastern Michigan places three at Eastern Michigan Open

    Freshman Sean Clair led three Eastern Michigan placers in the Michigan State Open in East Lansing Saturday and Sunday, November 12-13. Clair took 5th in the 125 pound weight class with a 5-2 comeback victory over Jim Shutich of Michigan. The true freshman from Plum, Pennsylvania won his first two matches with technical falls of 15-0 and 17-1. He lost in the semifinals for the second straight week to freshman Franklin Gomez of Michigan State before battling back to the 5th place finish over Shutich.

    Charlie Walker
    Senior Captain Charlie Walker started his season with a 6th place finish at 285 pounds. Wearing a mask as a result of a nose injury in practice, Walker had wins over Ohio State's Steve Dumas and Michigan State's Alan O'Donnell.

    Sophomore Tony Lyssiotis also had a good outing at the Open and placed 7th at 197 pounds. He was 3-2 on the day with two of his wins coming by falls. After losing a controversial 5-3 overtime match against Corey Morrison of Ohio State, Lyssiotis pinned Justin Tazzi of Findlay in 2:54 to claim 7th place.

    Although some starters did not go to the tournament, several other Eagles competed. Although they did not place, coaches singled out junior Ahmad Joumma (3-2 at 141) and freshman Chris Jenkins (2-2 at 133) for good performances.
