Harvard began the day with a resounding victory over the Marauders (1-3). The dominant performance was highlighted by four pins by Crimson grapplers, one coming from Peppelman only 43 seconds into his match.

Millersville forfeited the 133 lb. match, giving junior Steven Keith the automatic win and Harvard a quick 6-0 lead.

The Crimson’s Patrick Hogan opened the action with a narrow 8-7 win over Millersville’s Josh Ruppert, earning the freshman his first collegiate victory.

In the 149-lb. match, Jantzen cruised to a fall-pin over Daniel Calzarette just before the four-minute mark. Peppelman followed up with a pin of his own at 157, making quick work of the Maurader’s Zac Wawrzyniak-Bush and ending the match in less than a minute’s time.

Liguori kept the momentum going with a 4-2 decision over Millersville senior Brandon Vernalli, the junior’s 11th win on the season.  Josh Popple, wrestling in his first collegiate match, pinned senior Shane Smith to seal a win for the Crimson with three matches still to come.

Harvard continued to pour it on as it swept the final three matches. In the 184-lb. weight class, Croy pinned his senior opponent in 83 seconds, and Fox followed that up with a 12-3 major decision over Joel Suter.

The most closely contested match of the meet came in the heavyweights, as David Ng capped off Harvard’s victory with a 6-4 overtime win to topple Millersville senior Brad Ladd.

The Crimson has the week to rest before traveling to Arlington, Texas next weekend, where it will take on the likes of Air Force and No. 9 Oklahoma.

“It’s always been a great trip for us,” Weiss said. “It will be a great opportunity for us to face top competition.”
