    Wilkes earns shutout in home debut

    WILKES-BARRE -- The Wilkes University wrestling team opened its 2014 home dual match schedule cruising to a 51-0 victory over visiting Penn College Wednesday night in the Marts Center.

    After starting with the match with forfeit wins at 125 and 133, Pankil Chander (Cedarhurst, NY/Lawrence) put Wilkes up 17-0 with a 17-0 technical fall over Jake Stanford at 141 in 3:45.

    James Palys (Scotrun, PA/Pocono Mountain East) extended the lead with a 5-3 decision win over Mason Replogle at 149 as Wilkes led 20-0 after four bouts. At 157 Sean Lombardi (Newton, NJ/Kittatiny) earned a 15-5 major decision and at 165 Mark Maloney (Fleetwood, PA/Bethlehem Catholic) pinned Tanner Leid to push the Colonels advantage to 30-0.

    Two more forfeit wins at 184 and 197 continued the shutout for Wilkes leading 45-0. Dave Oberrender (Freeland, PA/Hazleton) finished the Colonel scoring pinning Connor Route in 2:37 at heavyweight.

    Prior to the match, members of last year's Wilkes 2014 NCAA East Region Championship team received their championship rings and team plaque.

    Wilkes returns to the mats Saturday hosting the John Reese Duals at 11:00 a.m. in the Marts Center.
