Bohl, Sulzer and Joseph record pins in rout

CLEVELAND, Ohio (EMUEagles.com)-- The Eastern Michigan University wrestling team cruised to a 33-9 road victory over Cleveland State University Thursday evening, Dec. 1, winning eight of a possible 10 matches. Three grapplers took their matches by way of fall for the Eagles, who overcame an early 9-3 deficit en route to the win.

The Eagles (4-1) earned 18 of their points off of pins by redshirt freshman Jaylyn Bohl (149 lbs.), redshirt junior Aaron Sulzer (157 lbs.) and redshirt sophomore Phillip Joseph (184 lbs.).

Redshirt sophomore Jared Germaine (125 lbs.) also recorded a victory Thursday, improving his individual record to 5-0. Joseph's win also gave him that same undefeated mark.

EMU has now won five duals in-a-row over the Vikings.

Cleveland State (2-3) won just two matches, one by fall and one by decision.

Following Germaine's 7-4 decision to begin the match, the Vikings responded to take a 9-3 lead after redshirt freshman Jake Byers was taken to the mat in his first-career regular season dual match at the 6:52 mark of the 133 lbs. bout and redshirt sophomore Seth Schaner was bested, 7-4, at 141 lbs. 

Bohl and Sulzer made sure the EMU deficit was short-lived as Bohl pinned Lawrence Cavello at the 3:59 mark and Sulzer did the same to Tanner Lemon at 2:44. The Eagles were off and running with a 15-9 lead.

Eastern Michigan finished the evening by winning the final five matches including Joseph's pin of Aric Thurn at the 2:25 mark.

The Green and White kicks-off the Mid-American Conference season with a home contest against Ohio University Sunday, Dec. 4, at 2 p.m.
