ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Joe Baker and Spencer Manley opened the match with bonus-point victories and a total of seven Midshipmen won bouts as No. 19 Navy defeated Army, 24-9, in an EIWA wrestling match Saturday evening in front of 1,801 spectators at Alumni Hall.<\/p>\n
Navy’s win, its sixth straight over Army in the all-time series, improves the Mids’ season record to 13-2 overall and 4-1 in the EIWA. Army, who saw its six-match winning streak snapped, falls to 8-4-2 overall and 6-1 in the conference.<\/p>\n
Navy took a quick 9-0 lead and Army never got closer than six points throughout the duration of the match. Baker jumped all over Army junior Frank Baughan at 133 pounds, securing a 19-4 technical fall verdict. Baker used three takedowns and a pair of near falls to open up a 12-2 lead at the end of the first period and the freshman coasted to the victory, giving the Midshipmen a 5-0 edge.<\/p>\n
In the 141-pound match, Manley recorded four takedowns en route to an 11-2 major decision triumph over Army freshman Whitt Dunning.<\/p>\n
Patrick Simpson got Army on the board and sliced Navy’s lead to 9-3 with a hard-fought 4-1 decision opposite Matt Gulosh at 149 pounds. The senior team captain, who led 1-0 after the second period, scored a takedown early in the third stanza and added the riding time point to account for the final margin. The Nashville, Tenn., native improved his team-leading overall record to a sparkling 29-5 on the season.<\/p>\n
Navy reclaimed its nine-point advantage in the 157-pound bout as John Jarred produced a 7-2 decision over Army’s Brian Rowan.<\/p>\n
Jon Anderson kept Army within striking distance in the 165-pound bout as the senior turned in an 8-2 win by decision over Craig Dziewiatkowski, trimming Navy’s edge to 12-6. Leading 3-0 after the second period, Anderson seized control of the match with a pair of third-period takedowns. The Virginia Beach, Va., product upped his record to 22-4 overall and 9-1 in duals.<\/p>\n
Navy stormed back by winning the next four bouts and extending its cushion to 24-6 with just one match remaining.<\/p>\n
William Simpson finished the match by taking a 5-4 decision from Alex Usztics at 125 pounds. The freshman from Nashville, Tenn., led 2-0 after the first period and held that edge throughout the match. Simpson is now 25-12 on the season, including 10-4 in dual matches.<\/p>\n
Navy now leads the all-time series versus Army, 40-5-5.<\/p>\n
Army’s wrestling team returns to the mat in two weeks when the Black Knights travel to Bethlehem, Pa., to compete at the 2006 EIWA Championships at Lehigh’s Stabler Arena.<\/p>\n
