    Harvard takes down Rider in dual meet opener

    LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. -- The Harvard wrestling team won seven of 10 bouts, including six in a row to close out the meet, en route to a 25-13 win at Rider Saturday afternoon.

    The victory marked the third straight year that the Crimson has opened the dual meet portion of its schedule with a win over Rider (6-3, 1-1 EWL), and is the team's sixth straight overall dating back to last season. Harvard will remain on the road to face EIWA foe Rutgers tomorrow at 1 p.m.

    Rider opened the meet with wins at 125 lbs. and 133 lbs. before Todd Preston got Harvard on the board at 141 lbs. The sophomore pinned John Gentile at the 4:34 mark for his second fall of the year, pulling the Crimson to within 9-6 in the team scores.

    Rider rebounded with its third win at 149 lbs., but it was the last victory the hosts would get.

    Tyler Grimaldi began Harvard's run with an 11-5 decision over Wayne Stinson at 157 lbs. Devon Gobbo followed with a 6-4 upset of No. 19 Ramon Santiago, his second straight victory over the nationally ranked Bronc.

    Eric Morris picked up a 3-2 decision against Connor Brennan at 174 lbs. to give the Crimson its first lead, 15-13, before Cameron Croy extended Harvard's advantage with a 6-4 victory over Jim Resnick. James Fox put the match out of reach with his third major decision of the year, 10-1 against Jeff McElwee, and David Ng capped off the day with a 3-1 win versus Greg Velasco at heavyweight.
