Giants Defeat Penn, Fall to Gettysburg and King’s in First Action of 2017

Keystone goes 1-2 at Gettysburg Quad Meet

Results

Gettysburg, Pa. – Keystone College's wrestling team returned to the mat for the first time in 2017 on Saturday, going 1-2 at the Gettysburg College Quad Meet.  The Giants, now 6-8 on the season, opened the day with a 27-18 victory over the Pennsylvania College of Technology before falling to the host Bullets and King's College.
 
Match 1 vs. Pennsylvania College of Technology
 
In Saturday's opener against the Wildcats (0-5), Jacob Richards (Tunkhannock, Pa./Tunkhannock) and Greg Kleinsmith (/Wyoming Seminary) picked up pins to lead Keystone to the win.  Josh Rivera (Scranton, Pa./Scranton) gave Keystone a 3-0 lead with an 11-8 decision at 125 pounds before Richards pinned his opponent at 149 pounds in 1:42.  Penn College pulled to within 15-12 before a forfeit followed by Kleinsmith's pin at the 2:20 mark of the 184 pound bout clinched the win for the Giants.
 
Match 2 vs. Gettysburg College

In Keystone's second match of the day against the host Bullets (5-2), Ryan Celenza (West Chester, Pa./West Chester East) earned the Giants' only points of the match with a pin as Gettysburg prevailed with a 49-6 victory.  Celenza earned the pin at the 2:52 mark of the 133 pound match, but it was all the Keystone would manage as the Bullets scored three pins of their own to go along with an injury default, a major decision, and a decision in the triumph.
 
Match 3 vs. King's College
 
In the Giants' third match of the day against the Monarchs (7-10), Zachary Briggs (Wyoming, Pa./Wyoming Area) scored a pin for Keystone's only points in a 45-6 setback.  Briggs notched his pin in the first period of the 165 pound matchup, but King's used four pins of their own to pull away with the win.
 
Up Next
 
The Giants will return to action next Sunday as Keystone will welcome in four other teams for a six-match day of wrestling in the Gambal Athletic Center.  The action will start at 9:00 a.m. when the Giants take on Penn State Schuylkill.
