Mercyhurst, which improved to 11-3 lifetime against West Liberty, earned its first shutout win at Alderson-Broaddus by a final of 52-0 ten days ago.
The Lakers had one victory via fall, two by technical fall, three by major decision, three by decision, and one by forfeit for their 43 team points on the night.
The Bohince brothers took center stage to start the evening with redshirt sophomore, Willie, earning a 7-0 victory over West Liberty's Zach Brown to give the Lakers a 3-0 lead. He improved to 23-3 overall and remains perfect in duals this season at 13-0. Meanwhile, redshirt senior, Ryan, earned an 11-1 major decision victory over Joe Wagstaff for his eighth win of the year.
Redshirt junior Kody Young went on the offensive from the outset against Anthony Craig, jumping in front by a 10-1 score after the first period. Young extended his lead to 16-3 after two periods and earned an early takedown in the third period to win via technical fall. The Brookville, Pennsylvania, native improved to 11-7 on the season and gave the Lakers a 12-0 cushion.
Redshirt junior Jeremy Landowski followed with his 20th victory of the season after a 4-1 win over regionally-ranked Joel Paolo. Landowski is 20-3 and improved to 11-1 in dual competition.
The NCAA Division II leader in technical falls, redshirt sophomore Francis Mizia, added to his lead on Tuesday night with an impressive 15-0 victory over David Schlieper. After an early takedown, Mizia earned a total of eleven back points in the first period to take a 13-0 lead after one. Schlieper chose defense to start the second and Mizia earned two more back points just 12 seconds in to end the match. He improved to 19-3 overall and 10-1 in duals.
Redshirt juniors Angelo Bortoluzzi and August Mizia earned back-to-back major decision victories at 165 and 174 respectively to give the Lakers a 28-0 advantage at that point. Bortoluzzi defeated DeMadre Turner, 9-0, for his 19th win of the season while the elder Mizia followed with an identical 9-0 win for victory #20 on the year.
After sophomore Dakota DesLauriers earned a forfeit win at 184 pounds, redshirt junior Brian Beattie gutted out a 3-0 victory over Nathan Dawson at 197 to keep the shutout intact. Beattie earned all three of his points in the third period on an escape, an unnecessary roughness penalty, and riding time. It was his fifth win of the season.
Sophomore Andrew Welton closed out the evening with a pin of Aaron Silverio exactly one minute into the second period. It was Welton's team-leading 11th victory by fall this season as he improved to 15-8 overall and 10-3 in duals.
The Lakers will host Kutztown University in a pivotal PSAC contest on Saturday afternoon. Wrestling gets underway at 1:00 p.m. from the Mercyhurst Athletic Center.
