No. 6 Lehigh escapes Penn State with 20-16 win<\/a><\/p>\n

Troy Letters won by tech fall against Penn State Friday night<\/p>\n

University Park, PA ” In a wild dual meet that came down to night’s final bout Sophomore Paul Weibel scored a major decision over Josh Walker to give No. 6 Lehigh a 20-16 win over No. Penn State Friday night at Rec Hall. The Mountain Hawks defeated the Nittany Lions for the second time this season, as they improve to 8-1 on the season. Penn State is 2-2.<\/p>\n

Lehigh had built a 17-10 lead heading into the final two bouts. That lead turned into a 16-16 tie after Jon Trenge was disqualified in his bout against Joel Edwards for flagrant misconduct after complaining that Edwards’ blows to his face were going un-penalized. The disqualification resulted in Lehigh losing a team point and thus, set the stage for Weibel to win the match with his major decision.<\/p>\n

The Mountain Hawks started out slowly as Andrew Rizzi lost a decision to Adam Smith and third-ranked Cory Cooperman was upset by No. 18 DeWitt Driscoll at 141. Matt Ciasulli got the Mountain Hawks on the board with an 8-7 win at 133.<\/p>\n

Freshman David Nakasone, subbing for Matt Anderson gave Lehigh momentum, rallying from a 5-1 deficit late in the third period to force overtime and ultimately top Jack Decker 7-5 in sudden victory. Lehigh would win the next three bouts as Derek Zinck and Travis Frick picked up decisions and Troy Letters won by technical fall.<\/p>\n

The Mountain Hawks will return to the mat Saturday afternoon, as they head west to take on No. 25 Pittsburgh. First match is set for just after 2:00 from Fitzgerald Field House. The match will be broadcast via tape delay on ESPN Radio 1230 and 1320 as well as online at lehighsports.com, with coverage getting underway at 4:30.<\/p>\n
