Each team posted five victories in the match, but the Cadets (1-2) won the team scoring by recording a pair of pins. PSU (1-2) nearly pulled out the match in the final bout when Jake Gagnon, needing a pin in the 285-pound weight class to give the Panthers the victory, recorded a three-point near-fall in the closing seconds but could not pin his opponent's shoulders to the mat.
The top performances by Norwich came from senior Nick Monaco, who took four minutes, 26 seconds to pin his opponent at 141 pounds, and sophomore Ray Gauthier needed only 44 seconds to record the fall at 184 pounds. Other winners for the Cadets included freshman Robert Butts at 133, freshman Joey Eon at 149, and senior Jordan Ferguson in overtime at 197 pounds.
In addition to Gagnon, PSU got a forfeit victory at 125 pounds and decisions by sophomore Mike Willey at 157, freshman Seth Carter at 165 and freshman Jesse Bilodeau at 174.
Norwich returns to action on Saturday, Nov. 21, when the Cadets travel to Springfield, Mass., to participate in the Doug Parker Invitational hosted by Springfield College. Bouts are slated to begin at 10 a.m.
