ALLIANCE, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) — Eastern Michigan redshirt junior wrestler Armando Torres (Lorain, Ohio-Elyria) was the lone Eagle to take part in the Purple Raider Open on the campus of the University Mount Union, Sunday, Jan. 14. The Ohio native made the most of his opportunity, going 4-0 to win the 133 lbs. championship.
Torres had the wrestling version of a cycle, as he won four matches in a row via pin (1:53), technical fall (20-4), major decision (12-4), and a 2-1 decision win in the final bout over Drew Marten of Central Michigan. It was the first tournament title of Torres' EMU career.
The wins helped Torres get his season record back to .500 at 7-7, including a team-best two technical falls. For his career, Torres has 42 wins.
EMU finally returns to Ypsilanti for their home opener inside the Convocation Center, Friday, Jan. 19, when they take on Northern Illinois University. Action against the Huskies is set for 7 p.m.
