The CMU wrestling team swept through Northeast Duals with four consecutive wins Saturday.

The Chippewas defeated American, Virginia, Maryland and Bloomsburg in dual matches that were scheduled without a break in between.

“I felt like we put our guys in a really tough situation and they came through for us today,” said coach Tom Borrelli. “We wrestled four duals against teams that only wrestled three, and most of them had a break before they wrestled us. But we had a great performance.”

Sophomore 133-pounder Scotti Sentes dominated his opponents with an 8-0 major decision in the first match and pins in the next three matches. Sentes faced one ranked opponent and earned a fall in 2:19 against No. 7 Steve Bell from Maryland.

Senior 125-pounder Matt Steintrager has made a convincing case for the starting position as he scored wins against two ranked opponents. Steintrager defeated No. 18 Jason Borshoff from American with a 4-1 decision.

“Today was a good preparation for tournament wrestling,” Borrelli said. “We wrestled without a break and that is what we will see in most national tournaments.”
