WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – It took a bit of overtime for both of them, but junior heavyweight
Connor Fulmer (Elysburg, Pa./Southern Columbia) and sophomore 197-pounder
Gable Crebs (Montoursville, Pa./Montoursville Area) both punched a ticket to the NCAA Division III Championship to highlight the Lycoming College wrestling team's second day at the NCAA Southeast Regional at the Keiper Recreation Center on Saturday, Feb. 26.
Â
Fulmer and Crebs will now have two weeks to get set for the NCAA Championship in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, as the two-day event kicks off on Friday, March 11, at 12 p.m.
Â
The Warriors finished 10
th in the 20-team field with 59 points, while Stevens (160.5), Alvernia (151) and Averett (127) made up the top three teams.
Â
Fulmer, wrestling with a cut over his eye, that forced his head to be wrapped, gutted through the whole tournament, but still claimed the 285-pound championship thanks to two well-wrestled matches on Saturday.
Â
In the semifinals, Fulmer gave up a first-period takedown, but used a second-period escape and riding time accumulated in the third period to reach overtime tied at 2. He won a scramble and fell on top of Alvernia's Palmer Rodenhaber for a 4-2 win.
Â
In the finals, a first-period takedown, third-period reversal and a riding-time point helped him ensure a spot on top of the podium.
Â
Ranked 13
th in the nation and the tournament's top seed, Fulmer improved to 37-1 on the year with the weekend's four wins.
Â
Crebs took a tougher road to earn the bid to nationals, but used a four-point first-period and a takedown in the third period to down Cameron Butka of Wilkes, 7-3, in the third-place match. He reached the round by taking down Washington & Jefferson's Alex Donahue by major decision, 13-2, in the consolation semifinals after opening the day with a 14-10 loss to Camden Farrow of York in the semifinals.
Â
Crebs improved to 27-5 on the season with the pair of wins, as he went 4-1 during the weekend.
Â
First-year
