Sophomore Josh Etzel (Elizabeth, Pa./Elizabeth Forward) posted a 2-1 record at 141 pounds. He opened with an 8-6 triumph against Hunter's Sean Messiana and then rolled past Gettysburg's Tony Stanell 14-3. Etzel was upended by W&L's Connor Duffey 6-5.
In the Gettysburg match, the Presidents received a pinfall victory from freshman Theron Mitchell (Mount Joy, Pa./Lancaster Catholic) at 197 pounds. He took down Marshall Puls one second before the first period ended.
The Presidents (1-4) will be back in action Wednesday evening when hosting Waynesburg for a PAC match at the Henry Memorial Center.
