College Wrestling
Rider University 45, Duquesne University 3
#3 Oklahoma State University 39, Rider University 9

HAMPTON, Va.–The Rider University wrestling team is competing at the Virginia Duals National College Tournament this weekend. On Friday, the Broncs defeated Duquesne before losing to the top seed, third ranked Oklahoma State.

Senior T.J. Morrison (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Cedar Cliff), ranked 11^th in the nation at 197, won both of his matches for Rider, as did his younger brother, sophomore 157 Rob Morrison (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Cedar Cliff). Both won a bout by pin. \”They both competed very hard and had tough matches,\” said Rider head coach Gary Taylor. 

The eighth seed in the 16-team tournament, Rider won nine of the 10 bouts against Duquesne, with pins by sophomore Fred Rodgers (Perkiomenville, Pa./Boyertown), junior Jason Lapham (West Chazy, N.Y./Beekmantown), T.J. Morrison and junior Ed Bordas (Montgomery, N.Y./Valley Central).

Against the top seed, third ranked Oklahoma State, T.J. Morrison won in overtime and Rob Morrison won by fall. \”T.J. was behind and evened it up, then he was behind again and evened it up again,\” Taylor said. \”T.J. took him down with eight seconds left and had to ride him the eight seconds because Foster had riding time. T. J. took him down in overtime for the win. It was a nice win.\”

\”Jason (Lapham) lost a close match to the kid who just beat the number one wrestler (from Iowa) in the country,\” Taylor said. \”Jason led most of the match but was trailing 6-5 and had to take some chances to get a take down. He looked real good in both matches.\”

The Broncs were competing without three injured starters, senior 149 Don Fisch (Williamstown, N.J./Delsea), junior 184 Doug Umbehauer (Shamong, N.J./Lenape) and sophomore 174 Mike Miller (Wilmington, DE/Brandywine). Rider lost four of the six bouts at those three weights.

\”Donnie injured his neck at Bloomsburg and it stiffened up on him,\” Taylor said. \”Doug (ranked 11^th in the nation) and Mike didn’t even make the trip.\”

Rider (1-6) takes on either Bucknell or Lehigh Saturday morning at 10am in the consolation bracket.

Williamsport, PA…The College of New Jersey wrestling team’s bid for a second straight title at the a14th Annual Budd Whitehill was derailed in the team’s first match of the tournament as the Lions fell to St. Johns (MN) University in the opening round of the tournament on Friday.

TCNJ then won its next two dual meets to remain alive in the consolation bracket beating John Carroll University by the score of 25-13 and then got past Case Western Reserve University 43-13.

By going 2-1 on the day, the Lions are now 9-2 on the season.

The Johnnies knocked off the third-seeded Lions by the score of 34-8 sending TCNJ into the consolation bracket.

Things didn’t get any easier for the ninth-ranked Lions in their second match of the tournament as they faced 22nd-ranked John Carroll University. TCNJ, however, dominated from the beginning winning the first seven matches. Junior Greg Osgoodby (Waldwick, NJ/Waldwick) pinned his opponent at 174 pounds in 3:16, while classmate Ryan McCabe (Kinnelon, NJ/Kinnelon) posted a victory by major decision at 157 to pace the Lions.

The Lions held a narrow 10-7 lead midway through the match before reeling off five straight wins. Wonesh and Osgoodby recorded back-to-back pins at 165 and 174 pounds securing the win for TCNJ.

The Lions return to action Saturday morning facing Messiah College at 9 a.m.

On Jan. 17, Sgt. 1st Class Shawn Farnsworth and five of his fellow soldiers will travel from all over the country to Southwest Colorado. Due to the Colorado Division of Wildlife’s late-season cow elk tags, they’ll have the opportunity to do something many of them have not done in years: hunt.

Several local businesses and hunting groups — including Colorado Hunting Expeditions, Mesa Verde Elk Ranch and the Four Corners Chapter of Safari Club International — are determined to make it a trip none of them will forget.

Colorado Hunting Expedition’s Bob and Terri Luna have offered to host the soldiers, along with their families, for an entire weekend of fun-filled activities. All told, more than 15 people are expected to descend on the Lunas’ Dolores hunting lodge Jan. 17-21.
