BRISTOL, R.I.- The No. 30 RWU wrestling team earned a 24-13 victory Wednesday night over the visiting Cardinals of Wesleyan University. Two Hawks earned wins by fall as the team improved to 8-2 on the season.
With the match-up beginning at 149, sophomore Thomas Tuminelli (Howell, N.J.) posted a 4-0 decision to give RWU the early 3-0 lead. The Cardinals stormed back however, winning the next three bouts, including a major decision win for junior Greg Hurd (New Hartford, N.Y.) in the 174 match.
A pin by senior James Woods (Demarest, N.J.) at 184 brought the Hawks back to within one at 10-9. RWU took over from there, earning decisions in three of the next four matches before senior Andrew Hawley (Huntington, Mass.) pinned sophomore Vinnie deLalla (Virginias Beach, Va.) at 4:01 of the final bout to put an exclamation point on the Hawks' win.
