WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Third-ranked senior Connor Fulmer (Catawissa, Pa./Southern Columbia) notched a pair of pins in less than a minute to help lift the Lycoming College wrestling team to a pair of wins on the second day of the Whitehill National Duals, as Lycoming downed Wesleyan, 28-13, and Williams, 26-20.
 
In the opener, the Warriors won seven bouts, with the last three being bonus-point wins to separate from Wesleyan in a 28-13 win.
 
With Wesleyan (3-3 overall) leading 13-12, first-year James Ellis (Ephrata, Pa./Ephrata) gave the Warriors a huge six points landing on-top in a scramble to deck Aris Dashiell late in the second period at 184 pounds. Junior Gable Crebs (Montoursville, Pa./Montoursville Area) followed with a dominant 10-0 win at 197 and Fulmer needed less than a minute to cradle his opponent and lift the Warriors to the win.
 
Sophomore Kaden Majcher (Turbotville, Pa./Warrior Run) started the meet with an 8-1 win at 125, junior Wiley Kahler (Pottsville, Pa./Nativity BVM) notched a 10-3 win at 141 and first-year Kobin Karper (Boiling Springs, Pa./Boiling Springs) notched a 10-6 win at 149, but a pin and a major decision gave Wesleyan a 10-9 lead halfway through the meet.
 
Senior 165-pounder Preston Rogers (Towanda, Pa./Towanda Area) provided a big lift with a 4-2 win over regionally-ranked Jack Reusing, setting up the team's run in the final three bouts.
 
In the team's second match of the day, the Warriors trailed by four points heading into the 197-pound match, but ninth-ranked Crebs and third-ranked Fulmer posted 10 points to seal the come-from-behind 26-20 win.
 
Crebs tied the match with a 10-1 major decision before Fulmer needed 33 seconds to pin his opponent and hand the Warriors the win.
 
Kahler posted a major decision before sophomore 149-pounder Logan Bartlett (Lewisburg, Pa./Lewisburg Area) and Rogers gutted out shutout decisions in low-scoring affairs to give Lycoming a 16-8 lead, but back-to-back pins gave Williams a 20-16 lead, setting up the Warrior comeback.
 
The Warriors get back on the mat on Saturday, Jan. 21, when they head to the MAC Championships at York College of Pennsylvania for a 10:30 a.m. start.
