WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – With a run of five straight wins to finish the match, the 25^th-ranked Lycoming College wrestling team overcame a nine-point deficit to down SUNY Cortland, 22-12, in the opening match for the team before narrowly falling to Centenary College, 24-23, in the nightcap of the Rennie Rodarmel Allstate Duals at Lamade Gym on Monday, Dec. 19.
 
Down 12-3 after the first half of the dual with Cortland (0-2 overall), the Warriors (4-3 overall) got rolling with a 10-4 decision at 165 pounds from senior Preston Rogers (Towanda, Pa./Towanda Area) before first-year Eli Crum (Carlisle, Pa./Boiling Springs) posted a 15-3 major decision at 174 and first-year James Ellis (Ephrata, Pa./Ephrata) added a 17-10 decision at 184 to take a 13-12 lead. Junior 197-pounder Gable Crebs (Montoursville, Pa./Montoursville Area) clinched the win over the Red Dragons with a pin late in the second period and senior heavyweight Connor Fulmer (Elysburg, Pa./Southern Columbia) capped the meet with a 2-0 win.
 
The Warriors split the 10 matches with the Cyclones (2-0 overall), but three pins helped Centenary over the edge.
 
First-year Kaden Majcher (Turbotville, Pa./Warrior Run) started the match with a high-scoring 18-16 win at 125 for his second victory of the day before a pair of pins put the Cyclones up, 12-3. First-year Kobin Karper (Boiling Springs, Pa./Boiling Springs) followed with a pin in the second minute at 149 to make it 12-9 before a pair of Centenary decisions made it 18-9. Crum used a second-period reversal to his advantage in a 5-2 decision at 174, but a third-period pin at 184 gave the Cyclones a 24-12 lead. Crebs followed with a technical fall and Fulmer added a pin in the final two bouts to close the gap to a point when the meet drew to a close.
 
The Warriors get back on the mat with the Budd Whitehill National Duals, with the 16-team tournament set to begin at 9 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 13, at Lamade Gym.
