KING'S WRESTLERS EARN 47-4 VICTORY OVER SCRANTON
 
SCRANTON -- The King's College wrestling team raced out to a 35-0 lead before registering a 47-4 victory over the host University of Scranton Tuesday in the John Long Center.

With the win, King's evened its season mark at 7-7 while Scranton fell to 1-9.

King's took a 6-0 lead when Ricky Dorsey picked up a forfeit at 125-pounds. Anthony Dietrick then followed with a technical fall at 133 before Tony Miele posted a pin at 141 to give the Monarchs a 17-0 lead. King's then used three consecutive major decisions from Frankie Davis, Taylor Green, and Jerry Robbins at 149, 157, and 165 respectively to push the Monarch advantage to 29-0.

After King's Mike Reilly secured a first-period pin at 174, Scranton got on the board when Luke Genovese defeated Monarch reserve Lewis Snover 11-0 to cut the margin to 29-4.

The Monarchs won the final two bouts when Zach Wilkinson bumped up a weight class to pin Joe Williams in 0:38. Chris Rash was then awarded a forfeit victory at heavyweight to tally the final points for King's.

The Monarchs return to action Saturday with a tri-match in Hoboken, NJ against host Steven's Tech and third-ranked Delaware Valley College.
