Men's Wrestling Earns Comeback Road Win Over Lakers
MCHENRY, Md. – Fresh off their third-place finish at the MEC Championships, the Frostburg State Men's Wrestling team returned to duals action in a come-from-behind 37-18 victory over Garrett College on Thursday.
The Lakers began the meet with an early 12-0 advantage, receiving a forfeit at 125 lbs and a pin at 133. Sophomore Sirr Bannister (18-1) and graduate Alex Blake (16-0) helped turn the match around, as each picked up tech falls at 141 and 157 lbs, respectively, either side of a forfeit at 149.
Another GC win by forfeit at 165 put the score at 18-16, but it would be all FSU from that point on, beginning with sophomore Charlie Turney picking up a second-round pin at 174. Freshman Andrew Wolfanger followed up with a 17-1 tech fall at 184, then classmates Alex Hoy and Cole Yonkin wrapped things up with a pin and major decision, respectively, at 197 and 285 lbs.
The Bobcats also showed well across four exhibition matches, picking up three pinfalls between freshmen Stephen Stottlemyer (157), Hunter Forcellini (165), and Colten Huffman (184).
With the win, Frostburg improves to 9-3 on the year, while Garrett drops to 10-5. FSU remains on the road as they travel to Seton Hill on Saturday, January 8 for a 2 p.m. dual. Information and updates will be posted to frostburgsports.com.
