HERSHEY, Pa. (Nov. 13) – The Waynesburg University wrestling team got the dual match portion of their schedule off to a strong start on Saturday by going 3-0 at the Duals at Hershey.

The Yellow Jackets (3-0) faced a trio of strong opponents in Division II Shippensburg, Johns Hopkins and York in that order. After winning both of the first two matches by the final score of 21-12, the Jackets gritted out an 18-17 victory over the Spartans to end the day.

Sophomore 125-pounder Alex Crown, senior 141-pounder Nick Garber and junior Jared Roberts all went 3-0 on the day and the trio picked up some impressive victories. Roberts led the charge with three victories by fall, including a key pin in 1:28 over York's Jeff Goldhagen, which put the Jackets up 18-7. Garber picked up his most impressive win of the year against the Spartans by beating Chris Albright 5-3. Albright transferred to York after serving as the starter at the University of Pittsburgh last season.
