    John Caroll rolls to season-opening victory

    John Carroll started fast and never looked back, taking the first nine matches to roll to a 47-3 season- and home-opening win over Case Reserve Wednesday night at the DeCarlo Varsity Center.

    After defeating CWRU by a decisive match score of 32-13 last season, the Blue Streaks would again look to not only defeat the rival Spartans once more, but to also ring in the new season with a win. With plenty of experienced returners to the roster, JCU had high expectations for themselves coming into the season.

    Already ahead 18-0 due to forfeits at 125, 133 and 141 pounds, sophomore Ken Locsei started the season and the meet off on the right foot for the Blue Streaks, as he defeated Spartans freshman Christopher Crane in the 149 pound match, winning the match with a pin.

    Freshman Terner Gott followed up Locsei's performance with a win of his own, recording his first collegiate win by defeating Spartans senior Kyle Weaver by a final score of 9-4.

    From there, the Blue Streaks didn't skip a beat. Senior Sean Gill, junior Bryan Steinmetz and senior Drew Place all picked up needed wins and important team points for the Blue Streaks in the next four matches, adding on to JCU's lead. JCU led 47-0 before Case averted the shutout with a 3-2 win at 285 pounds.
