Gallaudet Wrestling Loses Thriller to Delaware 18-15

It took 9 years for Gallaudet to host a wrestling match on the Galaludet campus.  It took four days to do it again.  Hoping to build on Sunday's 36-6 defeat of Radford in the Field House, Gallaudet faced the University of Delaware tonight, loses a close match 18-15.

Over 200 fans came out to see the wrestling team, which was reestablished this year, and is currently wrestling as a club.  Gallaudet features several talented wrestlers and matched up well with Delaware which has 10 students for every student Galaludet has.

Winners for Gallaudet today were Justin Lathus at 235 pounds who won an 8-3 decision; Ando Ferguson who won at 141 pounds, then pinned his heavier opponent in a reverse during an exhibition match, and Chris Cassell who overcame a leg injury to pin his opponent with 54 seconds remaining in the first period.

Gallaudet will be participating in several more tournaments this season.
