Wrestling Knocks Off No. 25 Shippensburg, East Stroudsburg

KUTZTOWN, Pa . – Tyler Makosy, Brandon Sloop and Faris Teia all capped off perfect weekends on the mat as the UNC Pembroke wrestling team capped off its stay at the Kutztown Duals with a pair of wins on Saturday, including a convincing victory over 25th-ranked Shippensburg.
 
The Braves (8-10) began day two of the event in Keystone Arena with a dominant 32-14 victory over the Raiders, but fell to Kutztown (4-6) by a 22-14 score in their second matchup of the day. The Black & Gold closed out the event with a 35-6 rout of East Stroudsburg in the nightcap.
 
UNCP won seven of the first eight individual matchups against the Raiders, including two forfeit victories, and eventually built a 33-4 advantage after Teia's 13-4 major decision at 184 pounds. Shippensburg closed out the dual with two bonus-point victories to provide the final.
 
Kutztown led 13-3 after Mikey O'Brien's decision at 157 pounds, but the Braves battled back with three-straight victories and eventually took a 14-13 lead on the team scoreboard after Teia's 22-2 technical fall in the 184-pound bout. The Bears would close out the dual with a pair of wins, using a 10-1 major decision by Dominic Mainiero at 197 pounds and a technical fall in the heavyweight bout, to move to 4-1 at home this season.
 
The Black & Gold won nine of the 10 individual matchups against East Stroudsburg, including a trio of bonus-point wins, to fuel the rout of the Warriors. Eric Milks (injury default), Brandon Sloop (technical fall) and Bryce Walker (pin) all accounted for the bonus-point wins.

The Braves will be back in action again on Friday when they head to Franklin Springs, Ga., for a 7 p.m. contest with Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) foe Emmanuel.
