Wrestling Falls to Hofstra on the Road, 29-9
Hempstead, N.Y. –
The Drexel wrestling team fell to EIWA opponent Hofstra, 29-9, on the road on Friday evening. The Dragons move to 4-12 overall and 0-3 in conference, while the Pride
improve to 5-6, 3-2 EIWA.
Hofstra struck early, with two major decisions coming from their 125 and 133 pounders. The Pride’s Luke Vaith earned a technical fall to take the 141 match and
Drexel’s redshirt freshman Matthew Cimato lost a 3-0 decision at 149 to give Hofstra the first four matches. Senior Austin Sommer picked up the Dragons’ first victory of the night at 157 with a 5-3 decision over Hofstra’s Jahlani Callender.
The Pride continued to take the next three matches at 165, 174, and 184. Brandon Palik came out strong with a win-by-fall at 1:48 over Hofstra’s Zeal McGrew, but
it was not enough to overcome the deficit the Pride had created.
Next up, the Dragons return home to host Army at the Daskalakis Athletic Center on Sunday at 7:00 p.m.
