GREENSBURG - East Stroudsburg University won the final five bouts to rally from a 15-point deficit and freshman Tyler Richardson won a 3-1 decision in the decisive match at 285 pounds, as the Warriors topped Seton Hill 26-20 in a PSAC and NCAA DII Super Region 1 dual on Sunday afternoon.

Redshirt senior Braden Turner, ranked No. 2 in Division II at 165 pounds, improved to 25-5 on the year and 17-1 against DII competition with a 7-5 decision over Christian Bosco to start the comeback, as ESU trailed 21-6 through five bouts.

No. 5-ranked Brendan McKeown (174 - 11-2) posted his second straight technical fall and third of the season by a 15-0 score over Tyler Mohlhenrich to get ESU within 21-14. Redshirt junior Luke DeLuise (184 - 14-11) won by fall with 55 seconds left, decking Tyler Dombrowski to make it 21-20 going into the final two bouts.

ESU sophomore Tyson Searer, third in the region at 197, won a 4-1 decision over Morris Lawson, and a one-point team deduction due to unsportsmanlike conduct by the Seton Hill coaching staff put the Warriors ahead 23-20 going to 285.

Richardson sealed the win with a 3-1 decision over Ryan Simonica.

ESU junior Anthony Marino won by forfeit at 125 pounds before Seton Hill won the next four bouts, including two pins and a forfeit victory, to build its 21-6 advantage.

The Warriors are at Millersville on Wednesday, then have a 13-day break before wrestling nationally-ranked Kutztown on Tuesday, February 18 at 7 p.m. at Koehler Fieldhouse.
