    Wheeling Jesuit topples West Liberty

    WEST LIBERTY, W.Va. -- In the third edition of the rivalry on the mat, Wheeling Jesuit powered its way to eight wins and toppled West Liberty, 32-6, on Thursday night.

    After Dustin Warner opened the night with his eighth win in as many season matches, Nolan Whitely (133) set the tone for the rest of the night with a fall over Johnathan Spence in 2:42 for a 9-0 visiting lead. WJU went on to take the first four matches and eight of the dual's opening nine weight classes.

    Freshman Clayton Ray added a pin five bouts later at 174 over Daniel Carpenter in 1:23 as the Cardinals' (5-0) other fall. Both Preston Bowshier (141) and Sawyer Leppla (184), who saw his first action of the season, recorded major decisions in their matches.

    WJU has now won two of the three dual matches against West Liberty (1-4), including last year's 25-6 final.

    The Cardinal wrestlers return to action on Saturday when they take part in the University of Findlay Open.
