EAST STROUDSBURG -- Trailing 6-0, Avery Meyers was able to pin her opponent to help lift the No. 15 East Stroudsburg University women’s wrestling team to a 24-23 win over Lock Haven on Wednesday night at Koehler Fieldhouse. 

ESU improves to 2-1 in dual matches on the season, while Lock Haven falls to 0-1 after its first-ever dual match.

Meyers third pin of the season in three dual matches this season at 136 would tie the match at 14-14. The Warriors would pick up 10 points on forfeits, before Bri Simsic would avoid getting pinned by LHU’s Jessica Johnson, who defeated two ranked wrestlers at the ESU Invitational earlier this season. With Simsic avoiding getting pinned at 170, the Warriors were able to secure a six-point lead heading into the final bout.

  • Joanne Ortiz earned ESU four points with a tech fall, shutting out her opponent by a score of 10-0.
  • Rachel DeGiulio (143) and Timmory Pisciotta (155) secured 10 points via forfeit victories.
