WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – The University of Scranton wrestling team kept the drama out of its quest for the school's single-season record for victories.
The Royals won seven matches, including a trio of pins, to pick up their 14th win of the season and set the program record with a 38-12 win at Penn College of Technology on Sunday.
Scranton (14-1) eclipsed the previous school record for wins, set in the 1980-81 season when the Royals finished 13-4. This is also the first season the Royals have reached double figures in victories since 2004-05, when they went 10-9.
Junior Nicholas DePierro (Manalapan, N.J./Freehold) got things started with his 12th pin of the season in 2:44 at 125 pounds. After Penn College decision at 133, the Royals won the next three matches to take control, capped by a pin from freshman Nathaniel Cohen (Port Jervis, N.Y./Port Jervis) in just 90 seconds at 157 pounds.
Sophomore Daniel D'Agostini (Allentown, Pa./Allentown Central Catholic) added a pin in 47 seconds at 184 pounds. Freshman Brandon Altieri (West Newton, Mass./Newton North) also had a 4-3 decision at 141 pounds, and the Royals were the recipient of forfeits at 141, 174 and 197 pounds.
