Wrestlers Sweep at Elizabethtown

01/09/08

The New York University wrestling team defeated both of its opponents, beating Muhlenberg College 21-12 and Elizabethtown College 26-13 in dual matches on Wednesday afternoon in Elizabeth, Pennsylvania.

NYU, ranked #27 in the nation in the latest Brute-Adidas National Wrestling Coaches Association Division III Poll, won six of the 10 bouts in each match to raise its record to 6-1 this season.

Sophomore Kyle Christensen posted falls for NYU in both matches. He pinned Mulhlenberg's Dan McEnroy in 2:27 and Elizabethtown's Marty Harnish in 1:51 in his 125-pound match-ups.

All of NYU's other victories in the win over Muhlenberg came via decision.

However, in the Elizabethtown match, junior Naum Shuminov (174 pounds) recorded a pin in just 1:04 over Josh Cook, while junior Joseph Ranzenbach (133) and senior Nick Coleman (184) each posted major decisions.

"Most of our guys wrestled well, but we still have room for improvement," said head coach Bruce Haberli. "Overall, our performance was very solid."
