Mountain Hawks too much for No. 25 Pittsburgh<\/a><\/p>\n

Pittsburgh, PA “No. 6 Lehigh completed a weekend sweep of in-state foes, jumping out to a 12-0 lead and coasting to a 34-12 victory over No. 25 Pittsburgh Saturday afternoon at Fitzgerald Field House. The win is the Mountain Hawks fourth consecutive dual victory and improves their dual record to 9-1. Pittsburgh falls to 1-2.<\/p>\n

Lehigh got off to a fast start as Andrew Rizzi scored a technical fall over Zach Bowman and then No. 10 Matt Ciasulli picked up a major decision over ninth ranked Drew Headlee at 133. Lehigh extended its lead to 12-0 when third ranked Cory Cooperman won a 7-3 decision over Pitt’s No. 5 Ronald Tarquinio.<\/p>\n

Each team had a wrestler not make weight, so forfeits were awarded to the Panthers at 149 and the Mountain Hawks at 157.<\/p>\n

Mountain Hawk grapplers won seven of eight contested bouts on the afternoon. It was a homecoming for Lehigh’s Troy Letters and Matt Cassidy, who are both from the Pittsburgh area. With friends and family on hand both posted impressive results. Letters picked up a major decision over Justin Nestor, while Cassidy scored a second period pin over Eric Cassidy (no relation).<\/p>\n

The Mountain Hawks will return to the mat on Tuesday as they head to the Big Apple for a showdown against yet another nationally ranked opponent. Lehigh will face No. 13 Missouri at the famous New York Athletic Club in Manhattan. The match gets underway at 7:00 and will be broadcast in the Lehigh Valley on ESPN Radio 1230 and 1320 with coverage beginning at 6:30. The match will also be broadcast worldwide on the Lehigh website at lehighsports.com with streaming provided by Yahoo! Sports.<\/p>\n
