The Bison opened EIWA action with victories at LIU and Hofstra
BROOKVILLE/HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. – The Bucknell wrestling team opened EIWA action with a pair of road victories in the Big Apple.
The Bison (6-2, 2-0 EIWA) began their day with a commanding 29-10 victory over LIU at the Pratt Recreation Center before defeating Hofstra by a 21-15 margin later in the afternoon at the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex.
Brandon Seidman (125), Kurt Phipps (133), Kolby DePron (149) and Nick Delp (157) all went 2-0 on the day, with DePron and Delp accounting for Bucknell's two pins.
The Bison cruised past the Sharks (0-5, 0-2 EIWA), winning seven of 10 bouts and scoring bonus points in all but one of their victories. Delp led the way with a first-period pin while all five Bison who posted a major decision logged at least 2:00 of riding time, with Logan Deacetis (184) nearly reaching 4:30 and Phipps surpassing 2:30.
Bucknell then downed the Pride (2-7, 1-2 EIWA), bolstered by DePron's first-period pin. The Bison took four of the first five bouts en route to their second victory of the day; they were also aided by a Hofstra injury default at 174 pounds.
Against the Pride, Seidman earned one of Bucknell's most dramatic wins. After forcing overtime with a third-period escape, he went on to defeat Jacob Moon, 3-1, on a takedown right at the first sudden victory period's buzzer. Not to be outdone, Phipps followed up Seidman's bonus-time win by using a reversal in the final 10 seconds of his bout with Ty Cymmerman to emerge a 4-2 victor.
Notably, DePron improved to 17-6 on his freshman campaign with his pair of victories. Phipps and Deacetis each picked up his 13th win of the season; they are now in a three-way tie with two-time All-American Zach Hartman for second among Bison in this statistical category.
Aiden Lewis, who competed in a pair of extra matches at 125 pounds, went 2-0 with a technical fall.
Bucknell next continues its road swing with EIWA duals at Harvard (Jan. 14 at 6 p.m.) and Brown (Jan. 15 at 12 p.m.).
