Cape wrestling wins at DMA 42-33
The Cape wrestling team led 15 seconds into the match Jan. 10 at Delaware Military Academy on a quick pin by Luke Bender at 138 pounds over Giovanni Sama.
The chase commenced over the remaining 13 bouts, as the Seahawks, like gulls on the Rehoboth Boardwalk, just would not go away.
Cape won the match 42-33 with DMA breathing down their necks across all weight classes. The Vikings improved to 11-2 on the season.
There were nine total pins in the match. Earning pins for Cape were Bender (138), Finbar Rishko (152), Jackson Handlin (195) and Joshua Wright (113). DMA secured five pins.
Cape grapplers got five-point tech fall wins from Andre Currie (170) and C.J. Fritchman (126), and also a forfeit at 285. The only wins by decision were Mikey Frederick (145) for Cape and DMA 132-pounder Ryan McKelvey.
The Vikings will host a powerful Smyrna squad Wednesday, Jan. 15, before competing in the Grapple at the Brook tournament Jan. 17-18, at Springbrook High School in Maryland.
