            (CLARION, PA): Cleveland State won all 9 matches wrestled on Sunday  afternoon in registering a 35-0 win over Clarion.

            Held at Waldo S. Tippin Gymnasium, Clarion dropped to 0-15 on the season and 0-5 in the Eastern Wrestling League. Cleveland State raised its record to 6-7 overall and 2-3 in the EWL.

            Clarion lost several close matches on the day. At heavyweight A.J. Brooks used a reversal in the third period to go ahead of Rashard Goff 4-3. But an escape with 40 seconds left tied the bout at 4-4 and still left 1:30 in riding time on the board for Goff. Brooks could not score in he final 40-seconds and Goff won 5-4 with riding time.

            Logan Downes entered the third period ahead 1-0 against Josh Ging, but the Cleveland State 165-pounder scored a reversal 15-seconds into the period to take a 2-1 and rode Downes out for a 3-1 win.

            At 141 Clarion’s Greg Lewis got down 8-0 to Mike Hurley in the first before he mounted a furious comeback. Lewis reversed Hurley and tilted the CSU sophomore to make it 8-4 at the end of the first. Hurley scored a big reversal at the buzzer ending the second period to make it 10-4. In the third, after a Lewis escape, Hurley notched a takedown but Lewis reversed seconds later to close the gap to 12-7. After cutting Hurley, Lewis went for a “cement job” and almost had it, gaining the takedown but was unable to hold Hurley for any nearfall points and lost 13-9.

            Clarion was shut out for the third time this season. Prior to this year the Eagles were only shut out three times in their history. Once in 1988 versus Ohio State, once in 2002 versus Ohio State, and last year against West Virginia.

            The Golden Eagles are off now until Sunday, February 19^th, when Clarion hosts Lock Haven in the final dual meet of the year.
