The win was also the Falcons' final tune-up before the NCAA Division III Regionals, set for Mar. 2 at York College in York, Pa.
Three Falcons secured wins by pinning their McDaniel opponent and two others won by tech fall. No. 8 Ricardo Plummer (174) and Ben Kramer (197) won by tech fall, both of them in the third round.
Making his return to the mat after time out with an injury was Chris Williamson (149) who won by pin over Trey Mitchell right at the end of the second period. The match was evenly fought but Williamson took a shot near the end of second, got the takedown and put Mitchell onto his back quickly.
The other two pins came from Nick Havener (184) and Charles Jones (285), both in the first period of their bouts.
McDaniel's six points came from a pin at 133 pounds by No. 9 Ryan O'Boyle over Kyle Coblentz. That tied the match at six points each but the Falcons didn't let the Green Terror score a point thereafter.
As mentioned, the NCAA Regionals will be the Falcons' next time on the mat so they will have a couple of weeks off to prepare for the tournament. Continue to follow the Falcons here on GoMessiah.com as that time approaches.
