    Gettysburg's Shank wins 149-pound title

    WILKES-BARRE, Pa. –- Junior Matt Shank (Reedsville, Pa./Indian Valley) swept four bouts to earn the individual title at 149 pounds at the King's Monarch Invitational on Saturday. His crown helped Gettysburg to 50.0 team points and 11th place at the meet.

    Shank, who took third place in the season-opening Ithaca Invitational last weekend, was awarded a first-round bye. His first competition came in the second round, where he drew Morgan Hovan of Oneonta State. Shank won by fall in 3:47 and duplicated that feat in 4:47 against Muhlenberg's Joe Decampo in the quarterfinal. In the semifinal round, Shank earned an 8-1 decision over Devan Whitman of Oneonta State, and he finished off his run with a 3-1 decision against Derek Brownmiller of Wilkes in the championship.

    Sophomore Andrew Goldstein (Easton, Pa./Easton) also got a bye at 157 pounds before he defeated Morrisville's Matt Campion by a 5-3 decision in the second round. Goldstein then lost his quarterfinal and consolation bouts by default.

    The Bullets will be back in action next Saturday when they travel to the Doug Parker Invitational at Springfield. The tournament begins at 10 a.m.
