THE KNIGHT CAP

  • Middle of the Lineup Success - The meet was won in large part thanks to five straight victories in the middle of the dual. Gannon swept from 133 to 165 pounds. Holden Huhn (Loveland, Ohio/La Salle), making his home dual debut was the center of the strong leg, winning by decision 10-7 at 157 to improve to 6-0 on the year. 
  • Still Unbeaten- Dorian Crosby (Erie, Pa./Cathedral Prep) improved to 10-0 on the season by earning the pin at 285. Crosby faced all-American Freddie Retter and earned the fall at 1:45 of the first period. 
  • Senior Superlatives - Gannon honored eight senior members of the team prior to the meet. Dorian Crosby (Erie, Pa./Cathedral Prep), Jerry Echevarria (Long Beach, N.Y./Long Beach), Joey Lyons (Wooster, Ohio/Wooster), Evan Reid (Carnation, Wash./Cedarcrest), Christian Scheller (Saxonburg, Pa./Mars), Shawn Szymanski (Pittsburgh, Pa./Burrell), Dillon Walker (Mason, Ohio/Mason), and Dillon Walker (Mason, Ohio/Mason) all took part in the ceremony in their senior seasons. 
  • Team Success - The win improves Gannon to 10-1 in dual meets this season and now 4-0 in conference matches. The Golden Knights have allowed just 39 total points to opponents in the most recent seven dual meet wins.
