Keller, Monday Reach 20-Win Mark As Princeton Tops Drexel In Dual Finale
February 22, 2019 | Wrestling
Freshmen Marshall Keller and Quincy Monday both reached the 20-win mark for the season, while sophomore Patrick Brucki won a top-15 showdown at 197, to help lead Princeton to a 27-13 win over Drexel in front of 1,004 fans in Philadelphia.
Keller earned a hard-fought 4-1 win over Nick Widmann at 141, while Monday scored a first-period pin over Evan Barczak at 157, both of which helped Princeton to its ninth team win of the season. Four Tiger freshmen had big wins on the day; 10th-ranked Patrick Glory posted a first-period fall at 125, while Travis Stefanik earned a 5-3 at 174 pounds.
While that quartet will make their EIWA Championships debut in two weeks at Binghamton, sophomore Jonathan Gomez will be looking to build on his impressive performance at the 2018 Championships. He made a run to the podium at the 2018 EIWA Championships, and Gomez had a terrific final push into the 2019 Championships when he pinned Alex Salas during the first period of their 133-pound match.
Princeton junior Matthew Kolodzik suffered his second loss of the season — and his first to an unranked opponent — when Parker Kropman scored a late takedown in a 3-1 win at 149 pounds. Kolodzik, who entered the weekend ranked second nationally, suffered an unranked loss last February as well, and he didn't lose again until the NCAA semifinals.
