Hoosiers won the dual via the third tiebreaker scenario
YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University wrestling team split 10 matches with Indiana University, 18-18, but the Hoosiers outscored the Eagles, 36-33, in match points and earned a 19-18 victory in front of a raucous crowd at Bowen Field House Sunday, Dec. 16.
“It is a tough way to lose,” said Head Coach Derek DelPorto. “Our guys rallied after being down late and we can continue to build off that effort as we move forward.”
Indiana won the tiebreak point based on the third criteria. The first was dual wins (5-5). The second was falls or technical falls (1-1). The third criteria, match points, favored the Hoosiers, 36-33. With the victory Indiana improves to 6-3 while the Eagles fall to 4-6.
Meeting for the first time in Ypsilanti since the 1977 campaign, redshirt junior Jared Germaine (Saginaw, Mich.-Saginaw Valley) set the tone for the meet early in the 125 lbs. The No. 17 ranked Germaine posted a 5-0 decision over Zachary to give the early 3-0 edge for the Green and White.
IU bounced back as Quinton Murphy notched a 10-4 decision over Vincent Pizzuto (North Jackson, Ohio-Jackson Milton) at 133 lbs. and Eric Roach edged Seth Schaner (Big Rapids, Mich.-Big Rapids), 3-2, at 141 lbs..
Redshirt freshman Justin Melick (Fenton, Mich.-Fenton) knotted the dual back up with a 5-4 victory at 149 lb. However, Indiana's Taylor Walsh pinned Aaron Sulzer (Cleveland, Ohio-Holy Name) at 157 lbs., and it was followed up with a Ryan Leblanc 3-1 victory over Jacob Dorulla (Rockford, Mich.-Rockford) at 174.
With EMU trailing 15-6, the Eagles regrouped with three consecutive victories to charge back to take a slim 18-15 edge heading into the final match of the afternoon. The rally included freshman Jacob Davis (North Ridgeville, Ohio-St. Edward) picking up a 3-1 sudden victory over Cheney Dale along with Phillip Joseph (Lapeer, Mich.-Lapeer East) finishing off a 10-3 decision over Lucas Sheridan.
At 197 lbs, Khodor Hoballah (Dearborn, Mich.- Dearborn) notched his second pin of the year with 2:48 showing against Tarek Alaruri. The victory evened the Dearborn, Mich. natives record a 4-4 on the year and pushed EMU back in front on the scoreboard, 18-15.
Indiana's Adam Chalfant controlled the final bout of the afternoon winning by a score of 9-2 over Anthony Abro (Canton, Mich.-Canton) to deadlock the team score at 18-all.
Eastern Michigan will now take a few days off for the holidays before returning to action Dec. 29-30 at the annual Midlands Championships in Evanston, Ill.
