Mariacher, who is currently ranked No. 13 in the country at 141 lbs., pinned No. 20 Zach Neibert of Virginia Tech on Sunday afternoon in the EaglesÂ’ dual finale. Mariacher took a 1-0 lead in the first period on a Neibert penalty and Neibert began the second on top, riding Mariacher for the majority of the period. But Mariacher was able to turn Neibert over late in the period and pick up the impressive fall at the 4:47 mark of the match.

MariacherÂ’s pin provided the EaglesÂ’ six key team points to open up a 21-8 advantage over the Hokies en route to the 25-19 victory.

The win improves Mariacher’s career record to 90-41, including a team-best 20 wins this season with only seven setbacks. The redshirt senior's 90 career wins are eighth-most in program history and his 48 dual victories are fourth-most. The Buffalo, N.Y., native has recorded 19 career major decisions, tied for second-most in school history, along with nine pins, the eighth-highest total in the program annals. 

Mariacher and the Eagles will return to action at the EIWA Championships from March 3-4 in Princeton, N.Y. Mariacher will be looking to defend his title at 141 lbs.
