MATCH RECAP 

The Cleveland State University wrestling team picked up a pair of victories Friday night as it opened its season by hosting the Cleveland Clash, a continuous tri-dual featuring a pair of local foes.

CSU took down John Carroll, 27-14, and surged past Case Western Reserve, 51-(-1). The Vikings totaled seven pins across the two duals and 13 bonus-point victories.

Redshirt sophomore Chase Archangelo, redshirt senior Justin Patrick and sophomore Ben Smith all went 2-0 on the evening with a pair of bonus-point wins.

Archangelo, competing in a collegiate dual for the first time, claimed a 22-8 major decision against his Blue Streaks foe and then notched a first-period pin against the Spartans. He was competing at 174 pounds for the first time as a collegian.

Patrick left no doubt in his Viking debut after transferring in from Buffalo during the offseason. He won via a first-period pin against the Spartans in his first bout as a Viking before posting a 20-5 technical fall against the Blue Streaks.

Smith, who posted 18 wins as a true freshman last season, got off to a 2-0 start with a 19-4 technical fall against CWRU and a 12-2 major decision against JCU.

Redshirt sophomore Jacob Adams notched his first win in a Viking singlet Friday with a major decision win against the Spartans at 184 pounds. Classmate Cody Moosman picked up his first pin in a CSU singlet, which came against CWRU at 125 pounds.

Four other Vikings posted pins in Friday's action: redshirt sophomore John Kelbly and senior Collin Kelly, both at heavyweight, along with redshirt junior Nico O'Dor (157 pounds) and redshirt senior Grant Turnmire (149 pounds).

Redshirt sophomore Brady Barnett posted a technical fall win at 157 pounds while redshirt juniors Ryan Ford (165), Cameron Lathem (125) and Mike Santillo (141) each picked up a win Friday.

Redshirt freshman Riley Smucker made his CSU debut against the Blue Streaks after transferring in during the offseason.

Cleveland State will open a stretch of three straight bracket events by competing in the Clarion Open this Sunday, Nov. 3.
