JOHNSTOWN, Pa. – Sophomores
Cody Myers and
John Lindquist went 2-0 for the Shippensburg University wrestling team on Saturday morning from Sports Center but the Raiders dropped a pair of matches at the 2012 Super Region I Duals hosted by the University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown.
Shippensburg (6-8) began the morning with a 37-10 loss to No. 2 Newberry before dropping a 24-19 decision to the Yellowjackets of American International.
Myers picked up pins in both of his Saturday bouts to finish the weekend 3-0. He put Newberry's Jonathan Cronin on his back just two seconds before the end of the first period and then got a victory by fall over Andrew Chase with just one second remaining in the first period.
Lindquist returned to the mat in impressive fashion, picking up a 10-2 major decision over Newberry's Davis Bagwell and a 3-2 decision over AIC's Noah Kail.
Against American International, freshman
Luke Etter earned an 8-0 major decision and sophomore
Jacob Nale pinned Casey Hines in 4:18.
