The Harvard wrestling team suffered a disappointing loss to No. 8 Penn on Friday night, falling 27-6, but rebounded nicely on Saturday, crushing Princeton 28-9 and Boston College 31-0.

Harvard 28, Princeton 9

Harvard won eight of its 10 matches against Princeton.

Crimson sophomore sensation Jesse Jantzen—ranked No. 8 in the country—pinned his opponent in the 149-lb. class, Milo Adams. Jantzen took down Adams early in the first period, turning him and pinning before two minutes had passed.

“Everyone looked to come back hard after the loss to Penn,” Jantzen said.

Harvard senior heavyweight and captain, No. 10 Dawid Rechul, recorded a technical fall over John Looke , 15-0, and junior Robert Griffin (157 lbs.) recorded a technical fall over senior Albert Pendleton, 22-3.

Only junior Patrick O’Donnell and sophomore Brandon Kaufman lost saturday. O’Donnell, wrestling up a weight class at 174, fell to No. 10 Greg Parker 8-2. Kaufman, also up a weight class at 165, lost to senior Jonathan Bunt, 5-3.

“I felt comfortable from neutral, on my feet,” O’Donnell said. “It was a bizarre match, but it doesn’t affect my seedings that much.”

Harvard 31, BC 0

Harvard totally demolished BC, sweeping all six of its matches. Five out of the six matches did not even go the distance.

BC is dropping its program next year, weakening the team considerably for the rest of this season.

Freshmen Joseph Turilli (149 lbs.) and Jonas Corl (197 lbs.) recorded pins. 157-lb. junior Nicholas Picarsic and 174-lb. freshmen Eddie Jones recorded technical falls.

Junior Kendrick Saddler won when his 149-pound opponent withdrew midway with an injury.
