    Lock Haven defeats Cleveland State

    LOCK HAVEN, Pa. -- The Lock Haven University wrestling team (4-8, 1-3 EWL) won 8-of-10 bouts tonight as the Bald Eagles cruised past visiting Cleveland State (6-11, 0-3 EWL) in Eastern Wrestling League (EWL) action.

    LHU fell into an early 3-0 hole after dropping the night's opening bout at 197, but The Haven responded with back-to-back wins at 285 and 125 to get things rolling in favor of the Bald Eagles.

    With Lock Haven down 3-0, Harry Turner (Howell, N.J./Howell) pinned CSU's Garry Yarborogh (4:35) to put Lock Haven up 6-3. Bobby Rehm (Lancaster, Pa./Penn Manor) followed that up with an exciting 14-9 win at 125.

    A Viking pin at 133 leveled the match at 9-9, but the Bald Eagles took over and closed the match with six straight wins.

    Jonathon Childress (Dallastown, Pa./Dallastown), normally a 133-pounder stepped up to 141 and earned a hard-fought 9-4 win after being out of the lineup for nearly two full months.

    William Randt (York, Pa./West York) also stepped into the lineup at 149 and picked up a huge 4-1 win over Lawrence Cavello.

    For the third straight match, Aaron Fry (Muncy, Pa./Muncy) and Seth Creasy (Mercer, Pa./Mercer) picked up wins for The Haven.

    Creasy continues his recent tear where he's won six of his last eight matches.

    Aaron McKinney (Imperial, Pa./West Allegheny) was a 6-0 winner and Fred Garcia (Donora, Pa../Ringgold) closed out the Vikings with a dominating 13-4 major decision.

    Tonight marked the first of three straight home Friday night matches for LHU.

    Next Friday (February, 10), Lock Haven hosts local-rival Bucknell (7 p.m.) and the Bald Eagles close out the home portion of their 2011-12 schedule at home on Friday, February 17 vs. Bloomsburg (7 p.m.).
