Facing some of the best competition on the East Coast at the Nittany Lion Open last Sunday, eight of nine Penn College wrestlers went 0-2 in their matches, however, Tanner Leid, of Terre Hill, went 1-2 in the 165-pound weight class after losing a decision, winning by medical forfeit and then losing on a technical fall. Also for Penn College, Ben Doll, of Glen Rock, lost by decision and fall at 125; Aaron Doll, of Glen Rock, lost by fall and technical at 133; Ron Smith, of Belleville, New Jersey, lost on a pair of technical falls at 149; Mason Replogle, of New Enterprise, dropped decisions at 149; Dan Frankenfield, of Dushore, lost by fall and major decision at 174; Connor Route, of Canton, lost by fall and technical fall at 184; Pat Fitzgerald, of Port Royal, lost by technical fall and fall at 197; and Zach Kane, of Higganum, Connecticut, lost by falls at 285.
“We had a couple of guys who were wrestling well, and a position here, a position there possibly could have gotten a win. I was definitely looking for more of that but we were wrestling some of the best people in the country,” coach Schuyler Frey said. "A couple of guys actually said afterward, ‘I know what I’ve got to do and I know I can do it (as far as improving).’ We’re happy with that result."
