PARKERSBURG, W.Va. – The 10th ranked Glenville State Wrestling team put together a dominant performance this evening (Jan. 16) against No. 6 Tiffin and rival Fairmont State inside the Parkersburg High School Fieldhouse.
The sixth-ranked Dragons were handled by the Pioneer grapplers quickly, as Tiffin didn’t score a point until the 165-pound bout. From there, the Pioneers secured victories in the next three matches before TU ended the battle with a win at heavyweight.
Rival Fairmont State didn’t score points until the 165-pound bout as well, as it would once again be way too late for a Pioneer opponent to mount anything on the superior GSU wrestlers. Ethan Lopez, Max Borton and Nick Johnson picked up wins in three of the final four matches to secure the 38-9 win over the Fighting Falcons to cap off the successful night in Parkersburg.
