WILKES WRESTLING MAKES HOME DEBUT WITH 51-0 WIN OVER PENN COLLEGE
 
WILKES-BARRE – The Wilkes University wrestling team opened its 2014 home dual match schedule cruising to a 51-0 victory over visiting Penn College Wednesday night in the Marts Center.
 
After starting with the match with forfeit wins at 125 and 133, Pankil Chander (Cedarhurst, NY/Lawrence) put Wilkes up 17-0 with a 17-0 technical fall over Jake Stanford at 141 in 3:45.
 
James Palys (Scotrun, PA/Pocono Mountain East) extended the lead with a 5-3 decision win over Mason Replogle at 149 as Wilkes led 20-0 after four bouts. At 157 Sean Lombardi (Newton, NJ/Kittatiny) earned a 15-5 major decision and at 165 Mark Maloney (Fleetwood, PA/Bethlehem Catholic) pinned Tanner Leid to push the Colonels advantage to 30-0.
 
Two more forfeit wins at 184 and 197 continued the shutout for Wilkes leading 45-0. Dave Oberrender (Freeland, PA/Hazleton) finished the Colonel scoring pinning Connor Route in 2:37 at heavyweight.
 
Prior to the match, members of last year's Wilkes 2014 NCAA East Region Championship team received their championship rings and team plaque.
