ESU-Boston University Wrestling
EAST STROUDSBURG - Boston University's Zak Edmond escaped seven seconds into the second overtime period to defeat Anthony Petrock, 6-5, in the final match at 165 pounds and give the Terriers a 22-18 wrestling victory over East Stroudsburg University Friday night.
Petrock had taken a 4-3 lead in the second period on a takedown and a two-point near fall. He also built up a final 1:08 riding time for a fifth point. Edmond escaped in the third period, however, and received a penalty point for an illegal hold which also gave him five points and sent the match into overtime.
ESU also lost a heart-breaker in the next-to-last match at 157 pounds when BU's Jason Holder used a second period takedown and a third period escape to edge Matt Dudeck, 3-2.
The Warriors had four winners, Dan Roy on an injury default in the first match at 174, Kevin Rake (133) with a pin and Marc Bauknecht (285) and Brad Kleckner (141) on decisions.
Rake took Neil Sharma to the mat quickly and caught him with a cradle for a pin in 55 seconds. It was his fifth pin of the season and lifted his record to 12-11.
Bauknecht scored an escape in the second period, a takedown in the third and had 1:17 of riding time in beating Ed Strauss, 4-1. His record is now 17-12.
Kleckner won his fifth straight dual match and raised his record to 15-9 by edging Jacob Giamoni, a freshman from Easton High School, 3-1, with a two-point near fall after starting on top in the third period.
BU is now 4-6 while ESU fell to 4-12.
