Lehigh took care of business Friday evening winning 7/10 bouts to knock off #15 Edinboro at the Virginia Duals. Mountain Hawks now face #9 Oklahoma (the #2 seed in the Tournament) this afternoon, while #14 Penn State takes on #3 Oklahoma State in the other semifinal match. Winners face off this evening for the championship.
The mystery of Matt Fisk's absence at 133 has been solved. The old bugaboo of wrestling teams-a skin infection. So he will be out the entire weekend, which puts a major hole in the LU lineup. Backup 125 pounder, Mitch Berger has been thrown into the breach, but the best that can be hoped for is that he stays off his back against the upcoming onslaught.
285 pounder and #5 ranked Zach Rey has a 'tweaked' knee, but wrestled against Edinboro, winning 6-3, to move to 18-1 on the season. He has now beaten 12 wrestlers ranked in the top 20 this year.
Sean Bilodeau at 157 has been the surprise star so far with two falls in a combined 5 minutes. With Fisk out of the lineup, bonus points will be critical to make up the expected shortfall at 133.
