    George Mason upends Washington and Lee

    FAIRFAX, Va. -- In their first dual win of the season, the George Mason wrestling team defeated the Generals of Washington and Lee Sunday afternoon in their home opener at the RAC. With the win Mason progressed to a 1-3 dual record on the young season and the Generals fell to 0-1 in dual match ups.

    The Patriots took an early 4-0 lead with Rich Carroll-Lavorato's 14-4 major decision win over Adam David in the 125 weight class.

    The Generals quickly put three points on the board after Tyler Kaelin defeated Mason's Zachary Isenhour in the 133 weight class by a 4-3 decision, moving the score to 4-3 in favor of the home team.

    Mason pushed their lead out to 10-3 with Sahid Kargbo's 6-3 decision win over Haroutioun Kotchinian (141 weight class) and Greg Flournoy's 9-4 decision win over Connor Duffey in the 149 weight division.

    In the 157 weight class, Jaaziah Bethea pinned Daniel Igel in 1:54 pushing the Patriots' lead to 16-3.

    After halftime, Zac Richey put three points on the board for the Generals with his 4-3 decision win over Mason's Kenton Perez in the 165 weight class.

    Ryan Hembury responded, extending the Patriots' lead to 19-6 with his 7-2 decision win over Ron Tassoni in the 174 weight class.

    With a 5-2 decision win over Mason's DJ Dwyer in the 184 weight class, Alexander Reed of Washington and Lee cut the Patriots led to 10, setting the score of the match to 19-9 in favor of Mason.
