    Pitt-Johnstown defeats Seton Hill for 12th straight win

    The fifth-ranked Mountain Cat wrestling team raced out to a 13-0 lead with the help of a Dave Fogle (Summerhill, Pa.) pin at 133 lbs. on their way to coasting to their 12th straight dual meet win with a 38-9 victory over Seton Hill University, Wednesday night in the Sports Center. Pitt-Johnstown, which recorded three falls in the match, is now 13-2.

    The Mountain Cats jumped on Seton Hill early. Evan Link (Cresson, Pa.) won a 12-3 major decision over Steve Smith at 125 lbs., before NCAA eighth-ranked Fogle pinned Trey Constable at 3:47.

    A 6-2 decision by NCAA No. 6 and Super Region I No. 3 Dave Cawley (Pittsburgh, Pa.) over A.J. fisher, ranked sixth in the region, at 141 lbs. increased it to 13-0 Pitt-Johnstown.

    The Griffins got back in it and cut it to 13-9 with Region fourth-ranked Nick Nichols' fall over Tyler Chesney (Roaring Spring, Pa.) at 6:47, and a 4-3 decision by Brett Smith at 157 lbs.

    However, the Mountain Cats regained control with Keith Ryan's (Shirleysburg, Pa.) (165 lbs.) 4-0 shutout over Randall Wagner at 165 lbs. and cruised to their 12th consecutive victory.

    Gary Lantz (Delta, Pa.) scored a 12-1 major decision over Tyler Mohlenrich at 174 lbs,. and sixth-ranked Travis McKillop (Lower Burrell, Pa.) picked-up his team-leading ninth fall of the year at 2:41 over Dylan Bushby to extend the Mountain Cat lead to 26-9.

    Another fall, this time by Nikos Garafola (Greensburg, Pa.) (197 lbs.) over Tyler Dombroski at 4:25, built the lead to 32-9, before Josh Duplin's (Johnstown, Pa.) win by forfeit at 285 lbs. closed it out.

    With the loss, Seton Hill dropped to 7-12.

    The Mountain Cats wrap-up the dual meet season at home against Anderson (SC) University on Saturday, and Shippensburg University for Senior Night on Wednesday. Both home matches will begin at 7 p.m. in the Sports Center.
