Eagles Break Historic Win Record
 February 4, 2008
|
 For the year, EMU moves to 14-5 (2-1, MAC), with five dual matches remaining, including two Mid-American Conference matches. Seniors Cory Mancuso (Brockway, Pa.-Brockway) and Charlie Pienaar (Trafford, Pa.-Trafford), redshirt sophomores No. 16 ranked Sean Clair (Turtlecreek, Pa.-Plum), Zach Donofrio (Monroe, Mich.-Dundee) and David Wade (Beavercreek, Ohio-Beavercreek) all posted perfect records, helping lead the Green and White on the day. In the first match of the day the Eagles easily defeated the Binghamton Bearcats, 31-6, giving them their 12th win of the season and tying the 1974-75 squad. EMU jumped out to a 10-3 lead behind a 13-4 major decision from freshman Andrew Novak (New Boston, Mich.-Huron) in the 125-pound match and decisions from Donofrio and Clair, winning the 133-pound and 141-pound matches respectively. Heading into the third period of the 157-pound contest, Mancuso trailed Nate Patterson 2-0 late in the third period. Mancuso reversed and pinned Patterson with 1:13 remaining in the match, spawning an EMU surge, winning four of the final five matches. Also, posting wins against the Bearcats was Justin Brandel (Saginaw, Mich.-Swan Valley) 5-0 in the 165-pound class, Charlie Pienaar, 14-7 in the 184-pound class, John McClure (Holland, Mich.-West Ottawa), a 4-0 winner at 197-pounds, and Wade, a winner by pin fall in the first period of the heavyweight match. Against Mercyhurst, the No. 12 ranked team in the latest Intermat/NWCA Division II rankings, the Eagles took seven of 10 matches from the Lakers. Novak, Clair, Donofrio, Mancuso, Derek Foore (Wadsworth, Ohio-Wadsworth), Charlie Pienaar and Wade all posted winning decisions in the 29-9 victory over Mercyhurst. With their second win of the day, the Eagles won their 13th match of the year, a new single-season record. “It feels good to know that we’re in the record books and that these guys and the coaching staff will always be known as the team that broke that record,†said second-year head coach Derek DelPorto. In the final match of the day, against Ithaca College, ranked No. 21 in the latest Brute/Adidas Division III national rankings, the Eagles faced an uphill battle after falling behind 12-3 four matches in. EMU relied on senior leadership to get back into the match, starting with a technical fall from Mancuso in the 157-pound match. Taking a 4-1 lead into the second period, Mancuso turned the heat up, registering multiple near-falls and widening his margin to 10-1. Two takedowns and a point for riding time were added late in the third, giving him the 17-2 victory, closing the gap to 12-8 in favor the Bombers. Brandel continued the comeback with a 12-5 decision in the 165-pound match that featured six takedowns, including three in the second period alone. Brandel’s decision knotted the score at 12-12, with four matches remaining. The ensuing two matches swung the momentum in favor of the Eagles. Foore and Charlie Pienaar recorded first-period pins, bringing the score to 24-12 in favor of the Green and White. “I was real proud of the effort that our team showed today,†said assistant coach David Bolyard. “We had a few calls not go our way, but we still figured out how to fight through it, and found a way to win.†McClure would tack on a 13-3 major decision in the 197-pound match before Wade earned a 5-0 decision in the heavyweight, his third shutout decision on the day. “Hats off to David Wade’s performance today, not one point scored against him, a testament to what he can do when he gains confidence,†said DelPorto. â€We had a solid day and persevered against Ithaca when the momentum was in their favor,†stated Mancuso. “It feels good setting the record today, but our winning this season isn’t done, we still have five matches until the conference championship and our goal is to win each one of those matches.†The Eagles return to action for the final home matches of the season, Saturday, Feb. 9. EMU will host Clarion, Gardner-Webb and MAC rival Northern Illinois in Bowen Field House. First match is set for a noon start, with action continuing throughout the afternoon.
