Wrestling Rallies To Defeat Montclair St. In Dual-Meet Finale, 34-10
MONTCLAIR, N.J., February 8, 2006 - Springfield College freshman Alex Klinoff (Concord, Mass.) pinned Montclair State's Lamar Taylor at the 6:56 mark of their 184-pound bout as the Pride, ranked 26th in Division III, defeated the Red Hawks, 34-10, in its final dual-meet of the 2005-'06 season on Wednesday evening at Panzer Gymnasium.
After falling behind to an early 10-0 deficit, SC responded by winning the final seven matches to take the 34-10 victory. Junior Erik Delehanty (Clinton, Conn.) gave the Pride its first lead of the meet, at 12-10, with a pinfall over Montclair's Steve Bradley at 157 pounds. Senior Bill Koch (Hackettstown, N.J.) maded the score 16-10 with a 12-4 major decision win at 165 pounds, and the lead grew to nine points (19-10) as junior Andre Lee (Wappingers Falls, N.Y.) registered a 12-6 win at 174 pounds.
Klinoff's pin over Lamar Taylor was the clincher for SC, as the Pride improves to 12-8 overall in its final dual-meet of the season. In the heavyweight division (285 lbs.), junior Phil McGeough (Clifton Park, N.Y.) edged Montclair State's Bill Beiermeister, 4-3, in overtime. The two battled through 12 minutes of action before McGeough was awarded the win based on riding time (seven seconds).
