    Stevens scores decisive victory over Trinity

    HOBOKEN, N.J. -- Freshman Andrew Boehm (Granville, Ohio) scored his first career win by technical fall at 133-lbs. as the Stevens Institute of Technology wrestling team cruised to a 31-12 victory over visiting Trinity College at Walker Gymnasium in Hoboken, N.J. With the win, the Ducks evened their season slate to 7-7-1 on the year, while the Bantams fell to 0-3 in dual matches this season.

    After Stevens’ 125-pounder Ling earned a forfeit to put Stevens up 6-0, Boehm kept the Ducks’ momentum going with a 19-3 triumph at 133-lbs. The Granville, Ohio native notched three takedowns and a near fall in the first period of action to take a 9-2 lead. He then added two additional takedowns in the second frame to go up 15-3, before closing out the match with an escape point and a takedown 20 seconds into the third period to earn a victory by technical fall.

    Appearing in her first dual since returning from injury, Bridge put the Ducks up 14-0 with a 13-6 decision over Rees at 141-lbs. With five first period takedowns, Bridge took a 10-4 lead into the second before tallying another two points in the second to make it 12-5 entering the final period. From there the Galloway, N.J. would hold steady, earning an extra point on riding time en route to a 13-6 decision.

    Looking to keep things going, Caserta captured his team-high sixth major decision of the season, ousting Williams 14-4 to give the Ducks a decisive 18-0 edge. Leading 5-1 after two periods, an aggressive Caserta dominated the third frame, notching four takedowns. Not to be outdone, Leo Dormann continued Stevens’ dominance at 157-lbs., pinning Muir just 46 seconds into the second period.

    Down 4-3 after one period at 165-lbs., the Ducks’ freshman rallied in the second frame, scoring three points on a takedown and an escape to take a 6-5 advantage. Speicher then knotted the match at six early in the third period with an escape before a Browne takedown made it 8-6 in favor of the Gig Harbor, Wash. native. After his Trinity counterpart scored a reversal to tie the bout, Browne notched one final escape point to earn a hard-fought 9-8 decision.

    Stevens’ 174-pounder Ryan Dormann put the wraps on the Stevens’ team point totals with a 12-4 major decision over West – extending his unbeaten streak to 18 bouts – before Youngblood, Hologitas, and Vaughn closed out the match with Trinity victories at 184, 197, and 285, respectively.

    The Ducks return to action on Saturday, January 22 against Centennial Conference rivals McDaniel College and Washington and Lee University.
