Matt Espoillet 1-2 (2 varsity and 1 JV) Matt pinned his first opponent W-S and although wrestling very aggressively, ended up on his back losing the other two matches L-BM.
Mike Morrissey 1-2 (2 matches & 1 forfeit W-S or 2 varsity and 1 JV match L-BM. Mike wrestled a very tough opponent against Brien McMahon L-BM, but got beat by technique only, not by strength. Once Mike gets some more experience, he will be hard to beat.
