With the match on the line, Josh Stasek was in a do-or-die situation for the team. Stasek dominated in the second period with six points off a reversal and four back points. Stasek held on to win his match by a score of 13-6, leading the Blue Streaks to a 22-18 victory over Lycoming.

After the match, Josh said "I didn't realize that the score was so close, so I just went into it with my normal mindset and tried to win, not realizing the match was riding on it," Stasek elaborated, "I felt that I was able to win on the ground, so once we got to the mat, I tried to use positioning to turn my opponent and I was successful."

Pitt Bradford was the next opponent for the Blue Streaks. John Carroll breezed through the match with a final team score of 49-6, including seven forfeits throughout the match. John Carroll was the recipient of six of those forfeits, making the score 36-6 before any wrestling happened.

The John Carroll Wrestling team had outstanding effort during this long and difficult day at the Tony DeCarlo Varsity Center. Individually and team-wise they proved that they are capable of winning against tough competition.

Assistant coach Chad Rhoades echoed this in his comments, "We feel good, not great.  We purposefully designed the duals to push our guys.  They responded well, six dual matches is a hard thing for teams to handle in one day."  Rhoades continued, "We driven our guys pretty tough, so it's good to be able to have a break for them to recover and we'll be refreshed for Muskingum after the break."

The Blue Streaks travel to Muskingum University for their next match on December 3rd at 7:00 pm.
