WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – With bonus points in all seven matches it won, the Lycoming College wrestling team dominated in a 32-12 win over Middle Atlantic Conference foe King's College on Sunday, Jan. 31, at Scandlon Gymnasium.
 
The Warriors (12-6 overall) got bonus points in each of their first four bouts, with dominating performances all-around. Sophomore Kyle Drick (Allenwood, Pa./Montgomery Area) started things off quickly with a two first-period takedowns and a two-point near fall en route to a 13-1 win over James Wright at 125 pounds for his 15^th win of the season. Freshman Andy Aguilar (Muncy, Pa./Muncy) followed with an early takedown that led to a pin of Dakota Conner in 2:03 at 133 and freshman Joe Santomarco (Manalapan, N.J./Manalapan) added two turns and four takedowns to rack up a 16-3 major decision win over Jake Daniel at 141.
 
Junior Seth Lansberry (Klingerstown, Pa./Line Mountain), ranked sixth in the nation, followed with another dominating effort, using four turns and two takedowns to post a 17-0 technical fall in 4:20 against Tony Immediato at 149 to give Lycoming a 19-0 lead. After King's (5-13 overall) earned a decision at 157, junior Nolan Barger (Clearfield, Pa./Clearfield Area), ranked second in the country, became the ninth wrestler in school history to win 25 matches in a row with a 10-1 major decision against Angelo Lussi at 165.
 
Sophomore Brandon Conrad (Bloomsburg, Pa./Bloomsburg) clinched the win at 174 pounds, using two four-point near falls, two takedowns and a reversal in a 16-1, 5:00 technical fall against Rene Sousa for his team-leading 27^th win and for good measure, junior Willie Alford (Easton, Pa./Easton Area) added a 12-4 major decision win over Edward Merrill at 184 to round out the team's 32 points.
 
Both Lansberry (25-2) and Barger (25-0) reached the 25-win mark for the third straight year, joining an exclusive group of seven grapplers in program history to win 25 matches three times in a career (Royce Eyer '01, Eric Walker '00, Rob Cosper '00, Andy Lausier '01 and Aaron Fitt '97).  Barger also won his 90^th career match, joining Lansberry, who reached the milestone on Thursday at Alfred State, as the 12^th wrestler in program history to reach the milestone. He is 90-20 in his career, while Lansberry is 91-18.
