WESTMINSTER, Md. – Pins in three bouts helped the Lycoming College wrestling team post a convincing 28-15 win over McDaniel College in the team's opening meet of the 2015-16 season, helping 23^rd-year head coach Roger Crebs earn his 350^th career match on Thursday night, Nov. 12.
 
Crebs improved to 350-118-2 (.746) in his career, as he joined the legendary Budd Whitehill (1956-93) in the 350-win club with the Lycoming wrestling program, as Whitehill went 374-175-7 in 37 years as head coach.
 
The Warriors (1-0 overall) won their season opener for the fifth year in a row, while the Green Terror fell to 0-1.
 
Lycoming took control of the match with bonus points in three of four bouts from 149-174 to take a commanding 22-6 lead. Junior Seth Lansberry (Klingerstown, Pa./Line Mountain) started the run with a first-period takedown that turned into a pin of Benjamin Mitchell at the 2:43 mark of the 149-pound bout. After McDaniel earned points at 157, junior returning All-American Nolan Barger (Clearfield, Pa./Clearfield Area) added an 11-2 major decision against Luke Yox at 165 pounds and sophomore Brandon Conrad (Bloomsburg, Pa./Bloomsburg Area) followed with a pin of Ronald Wuest in 1:44.
 
The Green Terror won the next two matches, but senior Max Lamport (Califon, N.J./Voorhees) closed out the match with his first win since 2013 when he pinned Mathew Meager in 55 seconds.
 
Sophomore Kyle Drick (Allenwood, Pa./Montgomery Area) kicked off the match with a 9-2 win over Nathan Frantz at 125 pounds and freshman Andy Aguilar (Muncy, Pa./Muncy Area) followed with a 10-4 win over Michael O'Boyle at 133, giving Lycoming a 6-0 lead to start the meet before a loss at 141 set up Lycoming's big run.
 
The Warriors get back on the mat on Monday, Nov. 16, when they head to Centenary (N.J.) for a 7 p.m. dual meet.
