Dylan Alton Claims 149 Title at Edinboro Open

Sam Sherlock and James Vollrath take second as seven Lions place

            UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; February 13, 2011 - Penn State Nittany Lion freshman Dylan Alton (Mill Hall, Pa.), red-shirting this season, blazed through the field at the 2011 Edinboro Open to claim the 149-pound title at the event.  Alton was joined by 11 other Nittany Lions, most wrestling unattached. 

            The Mill Hall native went 4-0 with one pin to win the crown.  His pin was a quick one, coming in just 0:16.  If Alton were not red-shirting, the pin would be the second fastest in school history but overall results of red-shirts do not count towards their career records or in the Penn State record books.  Joining Alton in the finals was classmate Sam Sherlock (West Mifflin, Pa.), who went 4-1 on the day and took second at 141.  Sherlock had a major, a technical fall and a pin and lost in the finals to the tournament€™s top seed, Nick Lester of Oklahoma.  Red-shirt freshman James Vollrath (Richboro, Pa.) also advanced to the finals at 165 to take second place.  Vollrath posted a 3-1 record with a major and lost 3-1 in the finals to Pittsburgh's Tyler Wilps. 

            Senior Eric Caschera (South Williamsport, Pa.) went 3-2 at 125 to take fourth place while true freshman Cameron Kelly (Pittsford, N.Y.) went 3-2 at 125 to place fifth.  True freshman Rob Vollrath (Richboro, Pa.) posted a 3-2 mark at 133 to take fifth and classmate Jon Gingrich (Wingate, Pa.) went 4-2 at heavyweight to place fifth as well. 

            Freshman Kyle Moran (Oxford, Pa.) picked up two wins at 141 while classmate Seth Beitz (Juniata, Pa.) grabbed one at that weight.  Freshman David Church (Erie, Pa.) won twice at 157 while older brother Andrew Church (Erie, Pa.) picked up two wins at 157.  True freshman Justin Haug (Galeton, Pa.) also competed at 165 at the event. 

            The Nittany Lions are in Minneapolis, preparing for a Sunday afternoon battle at No. 5 Minnesota.  The Minnesota dual is a Big Ten Network telecast that will air as a same day tape delay on Sunday at 9:30 p.m.  Penn State€™s final dual meet of the season is at home when the Lions host Wisconsin on Feb. 18.  Fans wishing to purchase single dual meet tickets can place their orders by calling 814-865-5555 or visit the Bryce Jordan Center ticket office.  The box office is open Monday-Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.  Ticket pricing is $8 for adults and $5 for youth, and there will be a limit of eight tickets per order.  Group sales are also available.  The 2010-11 Penn State wrestling season is presented by the Family Clothesline. All Penn State events will once again air live on Forever Broadcasting€™s WRSC€ˆ(1390 AM)€ˆand WSQV€ˆ(92.1 FM).  All radio broadcasts are streamed live at GoPSUsports.com as part of the All-Access package.  The 2010-11 Penn State Wrestling season is presented by The Family Clothesline.

Waynesburg’s Brandon Fedorka named PAC Wrestler of the Week

WEXFORD, Pa. (Feb. 7) – After finishing its season on a big high note this past week, the Waynesburg University wrestling team added one last individual accolade to its collection courtesy of the Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC). 

Freshman heavyweight Brandon Fedorka played a big role in a pair of Yellow Jacket victories this past week. For his efforts, the first-year standout was honored as the final PAC Wrestler of the Week for the 2010-11 season. He is the seventh different Jacket to receive the honor over the 11 weeks it was awarded, which featured 11 different athletes lauded. 

Fedorka went 4-0 this week with two wins by major decision. He clinched Waynesburg’s 22-16 win over Division II West Liberty State with an 8-0 major decision, and followed that performance up by going 3-0 at the John Summa Memorial Tournament. He picked up a 12-2 major decision in the semifinals to make it to the title bout where he beat top-seeded John Wilkinson of SUNY-Brockport by 2-1 decision. Fedorka is now 16-4 on the season, has won 13 of his last 14 bouts and was mentioned under the “honorable mention” heading in the d3wrestle.com rankings. 

The Yellow Jackets, along with fellow conference members Thiel and Washington & Jefferson, are currently preparing for Friday’s conference championships. Waynesburg is the defending team champion and this year’s host team. The event is scheduled to get underway at 5 p.m.

BOUT-BY-BOUT:

133: The dual began at 133, where sophomore Andrew Long (Creston, Iowa), ranked No. 9 at 133, met Michigan junior Zac Stevens, who was ranked No. 19.   Stevens scored right off the starting buzzer, taking Long down just seconds into the bout to lead 2-0 early.   Long quickly escaped and turned into Stevens, looking for a takedown of his own.   Long turned a low single into a takedown on the edge of the mat, but the second official waved it off and the Lion still trailed 2-1.   But Long was undaunted, getting in deep on a low shot and scrambling for a takedown and a 3-2 lead with :59 on the clock.   Stevens escaped quickly and tied the score at 3-3, but Long continued to pressure the Wolverine, but the bout moved to the second period tied.   Long chose down to start the second period and quickly escaped to a 4-3 lead.   The Lion sophomore pressured Stevens to the edge of the mat for the first minute of the period and scrambled his way to a 6-3 lead with a second takedown at the 1:10 mark.   Long then put together a brief ride, keeping control of Stevens until the :32 mark and building up a :27 riding time edge.   Alton pulled Stevens  ' head to the mat, moved behind him and picked his ankle for a late takedown with :05 left and led 8-4 after two periods.   Stevens chose down to start the third period but Long was able to control Stevens long enough to build up a 1:07 riding time edge before the Wolverine escaped.   Long quickly took Stevens down and cut him loose to lead 10-6, looking for a major.   Long added another takedown with :30 left and then turned Stevens to his back for three near fall points at the buzzer to grab an impressive 16-6 major with 1:42 in riding time.

141:   Seventh-ranked freshman Andrew Alton (Mill Hall, Pa.) faced off against top-ranked Kellen Russell of Michigan for the third time.   Russell earned hard-fought one-point decisions in each of the prior meetings.   The duo came out feisty, with each wrestler looking for early takedowns with a high pace.   Alton set the pace early, circling Russell to the edge of the mat.   Like the two prior bouts, takedowns were scarce between the two grapplers and the bout moved to the second period tied 0-0.   Russell chose down to start the second period and quickly escaped to a 1-0 lead.   Alton tried a low single, under hook but Russell was able to slide out of trouble to keep the one point lead.   Alton nearly turned the same move into a takedown but did not get the call at the :40 mark and still trailed 1-0.   Trailing 1-0, Alton chose down to start the third period and escaped to a 1-1 tied with 1:41 on the clock.   The rest of the third period featured a lot of shoulder ties but neither wrestler was able to find an opening to ice the bout and action moved into a sudden victory period.   Alton and Russell traded shots for the extra minute with no results and the bout moved into the first of two overtime periods.   Russell was down to start and quickly reversed Alton to lead 3-1.   Off a reset with :17, Alton could not work his way free to an escape and trailed by two heading into the next :30 period.   Alton was down to start the :30 and once again could not free himself from Russell.   The top-ranked Wolverine posted a hard-fought 3-1 overtime decision to cut Penn State  's lead to 4-3.

149:   Two-time All-American Frank Molinaro (Barnegat, N.J.) met Michigan freshman Eric Grajales at 149.   Molinaro, ranked No. 5, set the tempo early but could not break through a defensive Grajales to score early.   The Lion junior continued to pressure Grajales, however, and used a strong high double to take him down and lead 2-1 with :22 (after a Grajales escape).   Leading 2-1, Molinaro chose down to start the middle stanza and quickly reversed the Wolverine for a 4-1 lead less than :10 into the period.   The veteran Lion then put together a punishing ride, maintaining control of Grajales and looking for a chance to turn him for back points.   While not getting the turn, Molinaro was able to build up a 2:09 time advantage with the ride out.   Grajales chose neutral to start the third period.   Grajales turned a low single into a double leg takedown on the edge of the mat with 1:23 left in the third, cutting Molinaro  's lead to 4-3.   Molinaro escaped to a 5-3 lead and then began pressuring the Wolverine for another takedown.   With the riding time point clinched, Molinaro then secured the bout with a strong high single to lead 7-3 with :25 left on the clock.   Molinaro then rode Grajales out to post a strong 8-3 win.

157:   Third-ranked freshman David Taylor (St. Paris, Ohio) took on No. 20 Brandon Zeerip of Michigan at 157.     Taylor wasted no time in making another statement.   He quickly took Zeerip down and gained control of his shoulders.   Deftly turning him to his back in seconds, Taylor then worked steadily to get the pin, finally getting the fall at the 1:01 mark to put Penn State up 13-3.   The win improved Taylor to 28-0 with 27 of those wins earning bonus points.   It was the freshman  's seventh pin of the year.

165:   Red-shirt sophomore Nick Fischer (Unionville, Pa.) met Wolverine freshman Dan Yates, who was ranked No. 19 at 165.       Fischer had the first scoring chance of the bout, getting control of Yates  ' ankle and nearly getting a go-ahead takedown.   But Yates was able to scramble for nearly :30 and force a stalemate.   He then countered a Fischer shot and took 2-0 lead with a takedown of his own at the 1:34 mark.   Yates then put together a strong ride, building up a 1:34 riding time edge with the ride out.   Fischer nearly picked up a reversal at the end of the period, but Yates was able to hold on to lead 2-0 after one period.   Fischer chose down to start the second period and steadily escaped to a 2-1 deficit but Yates had 2:06 in riding time.   Fischer got in deep on a high single and looked to score a the end of the period, but Yates was able to force a stalemate with :07 left in the period.   Leading 2-1 with more than 2:00 in time, Yates chose down to start the third period.   He steadily worked his way into a reversal to lead 4-1 and clinch the riding time point.   Fischer escaped at the 1:00 mark to trail 4-2 and then tried a high single that Yates was able to block off.   Yates held on for the 5-2 win to cut Penn State  's lead to 5-2 at the break.  

174:   Red-shirt freshman Ed Ruth (Harrisburg, Pa.), ranked No. 2 at 174, faced off against Michigan  's Justin Zeerip.   Ruth wasted no time in getting in on a single leg, forcing a scramble that nearly led to an early takedown.   But action moved out of bounds and a reset ensued at the 2:30 mark.   Continuing to pressure the Wolverine, Ruth turned a low single into a 2-0 lead and then began looking for a chance to turn Zeerip for back points.   The talented Lion freshman dominated the action from the top position, building up a sizeable riding time edge before cutting him loose at the :35 mark.   Ruth then turned into the Wolverine, looking to add one more takedown in the period.   Zeerip was able to fight off Ruth  's moves and trailed just 2-1 after one period.   Zeerip chose down to start the second period and Ruth once again began punishing the Michigan grappler from the top position.   Ruth cut him loose at the 1:20 mark, tying the bout at 2-2 but Ruth had 2:34 in riding time.   Ruth quickly added a second takedown, cut Zeerip and led 4-3 with 1:00.     The second-ranked Nittany Lion fought off Zeerip  's first shot at the :45 mark, forcing a stalemate with :20 left.   Ruth picked up a third takedown at the buzzer and led 6-3 with 2:38 in riding time after two periods.   He chose down to start the third stanza and steadily worked his way to a reversal and an 8-3 lead.   After cutting Zeerip again, Ruth would tack on another takedown and cut and led 10-5 with 1:00 left.   Needing one more takedown for a major, Ruth used a swift low double to take him down once more and led 12-6 after a quick Zeerip escape.   Ruth was not able to get the last takedown and posted the 13-6 win, putting Penn State up 16-6.  

184:   Sophomore Quentin Wright (Wingate, Pa.), ranked No. 14 at 184, battled Hunter Collins.   Wright wasted less time than Taylor, gaining control of Collins  ' shoulders right out of the gates and tossed the Wolverine to his back.   In just :24, the 14^th-ranked Lion sophomore picked up the pin and put Penn State up 22-6.

197:   True freshman Nick Ruggear (Oxford, Pa.) took to the mat for Penn State at 197 to face No. 10 Anthony Biondo of Michigan.   Biondo quickly took Ruggear down to lead 2-0 and then put together a strong ride, keeping control of the young Nittany Lion for the rest of the period to lead 2-0 with 2:53 in riding time.   Biondo chose down to start the second period and quickly escaped to a 3-0 lead.   He then turned a high single into another takedown and a 5-0 lead with 1:34 on the clock.   Like the first period, Biondo was able to control Ruggear until cutting him loose at the :31 mark.   Biondo tacked on more takedown as the period ended and led 7-1 with 3:58 in riding time, clinching the extra point.   Ruggear chose down to start the third period and was cut loose by Biondo to a 7-2 deficit.   Ruggear gained control of Biondo  's right ankle but Biondo was able to counter the move and add another takedown.   The ranked Wolverine then turned Biondo for two back points and led 11-3 after cutting Ruggear loose with :30 left in the match.   Biondo would post the 12-3 major and cut Penn State  's lead to 22-10.

285:   Fifth-ranked heavyweight Cameron Wade (Twinsburg, Ohio) met No. 10 Ben Apland of Michigan for the third time as well.   Wade won two close decisions in the prior two meetings. Wade shot low on Apland but the Wolverine countered and took the Lion junior down to lead 2-1 after a quick Wade escape.   Apland gained control of Wade  's right leg and as the Nittany Lion tried to counter the move, the Wolverine worked his way into a second takedown and a 4-1 lead with 1:00 on the clock.   Wade quickly escaped and turned into the Wolverine, looking for a takedown of his own.   But Apland was able to hold firm and led 4-2 after the opening period with :43 in riding time.   Apland chose neutral to start the second stanza.   The duo battled evenly until Wade show in once more an Apland  's left leg.   The Wolverine once again worked to counter the move and forced a scramble in the middle of the mat.   Apland steadily worked his way to a third takedown and a 6-2 lead after two periods.   Wade chose top to start the third period, needing back points to come back.   Wade wasted no time in gaining control of Apland, turning the Wolverine to his back and working himself into a chance for the fall.   Wade first got the three count and then adjusted his position to pick up the pin just :28 into the final period.   The fall at the 5:32 mark clinched the dual for the Lions, putting Penn State up 28-10.

125:   True freshman Nate Morgan (McCook, Neb.) took on Michigan  's Sean Boyle at 125.     Morgan shot early, looking to take a lead, but Boyle was able to counter the move and pick up a takedown of his own to lead 2-0 less than a minute into the bout.   Morgan worked his way to an escaped at the 1:00 mark, cutting the Boyle lead to 2-1 with Boyle owning 1:12 in riding time.   Neither wrestler notched any more points in the opening period and Boyle led by one after the opening period.   Boyle chose down to start the third stanza, escaped, and then added a second takedown to lead 5-1 with 1:30 on the clock.   Morgan battled for an escape but could not work his way free.   The Lion freshman nearly notched a reversal as the period ended, but   Boyle was able to maintain control and led 5-1 with 2:38 in time to his advantage at the end of the second.   Morgan chose down to start the third and escaped to a 5-2 deficit.   The young Lion worked for a takedown of his own, but Boyle was able to maintain his edge and post a 6-2 win.

News Release – http://www.waynesburgsports.com/news/2011/1/27/WREST_0127115834.aspx  

Quartet of Waynesburg wrestlers featured in national website’s rankings 

WAYNESBURG, Pa. (Jan. 27) – Several new faces on this year’s Waynesburg wrestling team have already started to garner some attention from d3wrestle.com, a nationally recognized website that covers NCAA Division III wrestling.

Freshmen Luke Lohr and Brandon Fedorka joined sophomore Alex Crown and senior Nick Garber on the Jan. 18 rankings to give the Yellow Jackets four representatives on the rankings, which is the highest total in the Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC). Both Lohr and Fedorka were listed as honorable mention selections, while Crown and Garber were given the nod as “contenders”, placing them just outside the top 10.

Lohr has hit the ground running in his first year with the Jackets and currently leads the team in wins with a 25-3 overall record at 149 pounds. After joining the team following the completion of the 2010 football season, Fedorka took over the as the team’s starting heavyweight almost immediately. Since then, he has compiled an 11-4 record, has won five-straight bouts and been victorious in eight of his last nine trips to the mat.

Crown, the defending PAC Most Outstanding Wrestler, picked up right where he left off after a stellar freshman campaign. He currently boasts a 20-2 record and his two losses have come by a combined four points. He is unbeaten in his last eight bouts and is a perfect 13-0 in dual contests. Crown is also ranked 10^th in the country by the National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) After finishing seventh in the country last year, it has been an up-and-down year for Garber. He has battled some injury problems while putting together a 12-3 record, but hopes to hit his stride as the regular season starts to wind down.

The Yellow Jacket mat men are currently gearing up for one of their biggest rivalry matches of the year, which comes at home on Friday against fellow PAC member Thiel. The action is scheduled to get underway at 7 p.m.
