EMU won all six matches wrestled by bonus points
ADRIAN, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University wrestling team got the weekend started in dominating fashion, defeating the Adrian College Bulldogs 48-6 Friday night, Jan. 13, at Merillat Sport and Fitness Center in Adrian.
The Eagles (5-2, 1-1 MAC) won all six bouts that took place by bonus points, that included one pin, four technical falls, and a major decision. The other four weight classes were forfeited, including Adrian (0-14) yielding 125 lbs., 174 lbs., and 184 lbs., while EMU gave up 149 lbs. to give the Bulldogs their only points.
The dual began at 133 lbs. following the first forfeit, where redshirt freshman Sa'Derian Perry (Lakeland, Fla.-Lake Gibson) opened the evening with his fifth pin of the season, and fourth in dual action, this one coming in 2:09. The first-year starter is now 4-1 in duals with all four wins coming via fall.
Redshirt sophomore Armando Torres (Lorain, Ohio-Elyria) made his 2016-17 dual debut wrestling up a class at 141 lbs. The usual 133-pounder was not overmatched, using a big 8-1 first period on his way to an 18-1 technical fall in 4:36. Eastern forfeited the 149 lbs. match, making it 17-6 after four.
The 157 lbs. bout was the tightest of the evening, but redshirt freshman J.J. Wolfe (Dakota, Ill.-Dakota) was still able to win comfortably, coming away with a 12-2 major decision, his second of the season. Eastern registered its second technical fall at 165 lbs. as redshirt senior Devan Marry (Hudson, Mich.-Hudson) cruised to an 18-1 tech fall in 3:56, his first of the year.
After Adrian forfeited at 174 lbs. and 184 lbs., Eastern sat way out ahead with a 38-6 lead with two bouts remaining. The penultimate match at 197 lbs. saw redshirt freshman Jared Langley (Newton, Kan.-Newton) make his Eagles dual debut. Langley made the most of it, locking up EMU's third technical fall, this one coming in 3:40 by 16-0 score. It was his first tech fall of the season.
Finally, No. 14 heavyweight redshirt junior Gage Hutchison (Buchanan, Mich.-Buchanan) finished off the match with a dominating 20-2 technical fall in 3:34 to lock up his second straight 20-win season, as well as the 70th victory of his EMU career. It was his second tech fall of the season.
The Eagles now set their sights to Sunday, Jan. 15, for a huge Mid-American Conference showdown with the No. 9 Missouri Tigers. The dual from the Convocation Center is set to begin at 2 p.m. and will be broadcast on ESPN3.
