WRE: D-II AIC pins Panthers

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – NCAA Division II American International College took down Plymouth State University in a wrestling dual meet at Butova Gymnasium on Sunday afternoon.
 
The Yellowjackets picked up five pins and were the beneficiaries of two forfeits on the way to a 54-0 win.
 
Plymouth State got a strong performance from junior Colin Hile (Walpole, Mass.) at 184 pounds in the setback, while classmate Ty Miller (Groton, Conn.) held a short-lived lead in the first period of his bout at 174 pounds.
 
Plymouth State slides to 0-15, while AIC improves to 4-9.
   
The Basics:
  • Plymouth State 0, AIC 54
    • Plymouth State (0-15)
    • AIC (4-9)
How it Happened:
  • AIC raced out to a 24-0 lead thanks to a pair of pins at 125 and 133 and PSU forfeits at 141 and 149.
  • Sophomore Ricky Perez (Londonderry, N.H.) picked up three points on a trio of escapes in the opening period at 157 pounds, but lost by technical fall, 19-3, in the second period.
