Lehigh hits the road to face EIWA rivals Navy and American

Posted: 01/10/2013 |
BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Lehigh looks to snap a three-dual losing streak as the Mountain Hawks take to the road for a pair of EIWA duals. The Mountain Hawks will meet Navy for the 93rd time Saturday in Annapolis, Md., before trekking to Washington, D.C. to face American on Sunday. Lehigh opened the 2013 portion of its schedule with a 20-13 loss to Cornell on Sunday. The Mountain Hawks won four matches, highlighted by Robert Hamlin’s 3-1, sudden victory win over defending national champion Steve Bosak at 184.
 
The loss dropped Lehigh out of the top 25 in the national dual meet rankings for the first time since the 2008-09 preseason poll. The Mountain Hawks have never lost four consecutive duals under Pat Santoro, as Lehigh will look to avoid its first four dual skid since December 2007.
 
Four Mountain Hawks are ranked in the latest Amateur Wrestling News rankings, led by Hamlin, and junior Joey Napoli who are both ranked third at 184 and 157 respectively. Sophomore Nathaniel Brown jumped into the top 20 with his runner-up showing at the Midlands Championships. Sophomore Anthony Salupo remains ranked at 141 despite not competing versus Cornell. Hamlin, Napoli and Brown are also ranked by InterMat, along with senior Shane Welsh who is ranked 20th.
 
Navy hosts its first dual meet of the season Saturday when the Midshipmen welcome Lehigh to Alumni Hall. The Mids have been busy on the tournament circuit, hosting the Navy Classic in November and competing at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational and Southern Scuffle, among other events. Navy finished 12th out of 25 teams at the Southern Scuffle and crowned two champions in Patrick Prada (125) and Paul Rands (197) at the Franklin & Marshall Open last weekend. The Mids probable lineup features three ranked wrestlers in Bobby Barnhisel (No. 13 at 157), Mat Miller (No. 14 at 174) and Mason Bailey (No. 20 at 285). Bruce Burnett is in his 13th season as Navy’s head coach. The Midshipmen are 1-0 in duals this season, downing George Mason 33-4 on December 8.
 
American will close out a busy weekend of action when they host Lehigh Sunday afternoon. American will host Harvard Friday night before taking on Stanford and the Mountain Hawks on Sunday. The Eagles finished 15th at the Southern Scuffle and are 1-2 in duals with a win over George Mason and losses to Maryland and Old Dominion. Freshman David Terao was American’s lone place winner at the Southern Scuffle, finishing eighth at 125. The Eagles have no wrestlers ranked by Amateur Wrestling News, but have several men ranked in the top six in the EIWA. Senior Kevin Tao is a returning EIWA finalist at 149, while freshman Esteban Gomez-Rivera (133) and junior Blake Herrin (285) are ranked within the conference as well. Teague Moore is in his second season as head coach of the Eagles.
 
Navy is Lehigh’s second most-often wrestled opponent behind Penn State. The Mountain Hawks are wrestling the Mids in a dual for the 62nd straight year. Lehigh has won 14 of the last 16 duals against Navy but dropped a 19-15 decision in its last visit to Annapolis. The Mountain Hawks are 4-0 all-time versus American.
 
Action begins Saturday when Lehigh meets Navy at 2 p.m. inside Alumni Hall. The Mountain Hawks and Eagles will do battle on Sunday, also at 2 p.m., at Bender Arena. Live audio of both duals will be available at Lehighsports.com, while the American match can also be heard on WLVR-FM (91.3) with pre-match coverage beginning at 1:45.
