    Kent State opens season with 3 wins in 2 states

    Kent State was nothing short of dominant in its first two duals of the season Friday afternoon at the M.A.C. Center. The Golden Flashes opened their unconventional day with a 38-3 victory over Lake Erie followed by a 52-0 blanking Mercyhurst North East.

    Before heading to Clarion for a night dual with Utah Valley, the Flashes won 19 of 20 matches, including five pins and seven tech falls.

    "We were constantly looking to score today," Head Coach Jim Andrassy said of the Flashes' afternoon duals. "Several guys looked better in their second match and hopefully we just keep getting better and more consistent. We'll find out more about our team tonight."

    Senior 125-pounder Will Bardezbain joined a pair of redshirt freshmen, Nick Monico (149) and Dylan Barreiro (174) in going 2-0 in their first two duals in a Kent State singlet. Five other Flashes went 2-0 on the afternoon: Anthony Tutolo (133), Casey Sparkman (157), Isaac Bast (165), Stephen Suglio (197) and Devin Nye (285).

    Suglio worked his tilt on the way to 19-3 and 18-2 tech falls. Tutolo and Sparkman also had a pair of tech falls on the day. Tutolo allowed just two points over two matches, while Sparkman totaled nin takedowns on the day.

    Sophomore Tim Rooney (141), senior Chance Driscoll (141) and Shane Mast (184) also earned victories in front of their home crowd.
