Millersville (2-0) recorded five falls and nine of 10 matches in a 44-3 victory over Wagner, and then won six of the 10 bouts against Delaware for a 25-18 victory. Millersville improved to 13-0-1 all-time against Wagner and 5-0 all-time against Delaware State. The evening couldn't have started any better for the Marauders as the first three wrestlers that stepped on the mat each earned a fall.
Sophomore Sean Reed continued the impressive start to his Marauder career by recording falls in both of his matches. Against Wagner's Nicholas Keshecki, the 133-pound Reed scored the pin in just 1:08. His match against Delaware State's Kelvin Watford wasn't nearly as easy. Watford had just scored a three-point nearfall and was in position to score again when Reed bridged and pinned Watford.
Brothers John Andel (125) and Sean Andel (141) each scored falls against Wagner as well. John, a senior, pinned Jason Mandragona in two minutes and Sean, in his first career match, pinned Jacob Villaret at 5:59.
At 174 pounds, Shane Smith boosted his record to 6-2 on the season. It took him just 2:03 to pin Wagner's Ryan Malloy. Against Delaware State's Kyle Skinner, he earned a hard-fought 3-0 decision.
J.J. Lester picked up a 21-5 technical fall against Wagner's Nick Dalcero, but ran into the nation's No. 13-ranked wrestler at 149 pounds against Delaware State. Matt Catthel handed Lester just his second defeat of the season, pinning him at 2:07.
197-pound Raymond Bennett also turned in a pair of outstanding efforts. He pinned Wagner's Mark Wagner in just 58 seconds and then topped Shawn Nowery of Delaware State by a 15-5 major decision.
Jeremy Brooks, wrestling at 165, also won both of his bouts, and freshman heavyweight D.J. Fox earned a 4-3 overtime win over Wagner's Angelo D'Amico in his first career match.
The Marauders travel to Lock Haven for the Mat Town Open Saturday, Nov. 29.
