    MANHATTAN, N.Y. -- The Lehigh wrestling team won nine-of-ten bouts, led by a pair of first-period falls from freshman Scott Parker and senior John Bolich, to beat Columbia 34-3 on Friday evening at the New York Athletic Club. Parker got the match started with a fall of Johnson Mai just 1:52 into the first period and the Mountain Hawks continued to impress. Along with the two falls, sophomore Randy Cruz also won by a major decision.

    Parker's fall came at 125. After a scoreless first period at 133, junior Mason Beckman rode a second-period takedown to the 4-1 win.

    Cruz dominated at 141, scoring eight points in the first period on his way to the 14-1 major decision. After a scoreless first period, a second-period takedown sparked freshman Drew Longo to the 8-2 decision at 149.

    The Mountain Hawks won the last five bouts, four by decisions as senior Santiago Martinez won 5-3 at 165, senior Marshall Peppelman won 7-2 at 174, junior Nathaniel Brown won 4-1 at 184 and sophomore Doug Vollaro won 6-3 at 285. Martinez used a late escape and added a point in riding time for the 5-3 victory. After two scoreless period at 184, Brown used a third-period takedown while adding a point in riding time for the 4-1 win. At 285, Vollaro took a 4-3 lead into the third period and won, 6-3. Junior John Bolich recorded Lehigh's second fall of the evening at 197, just 55 seconds into the first period.
