    In last season's match-up on Dec. 3, then ranked 21st Navy posted a 21-12 victory, despite Scarlet Knight wins by Ryan Jablonski (Norristown, Pa.), Steve Adamcsik (Chester, N.J.) , and Mike Whalen (Lake Hiawatha, N.J.). At 125 pounds, Jablonski won a 5-4 decision over Mike Kohler, while Adamcsik also won by decision, 9-5, over Navy's Spencer Manley. At 174 pounds, Whalen recorded an 8-3 win over the Midshipmen's Jesse Feinsod.

    The Midshipmen lead the all-time series, 18-2. The last time the Scarlet Knights beat Navy was during the 2000-2001 campaign when they posted a 21-15 win.

    Following Friday's dual match, the Scarlet Knights will compete in the Penn State Open in State College, Pa., on Sunday, Dec. 3, with action slated to start at 8:00 a.m.
