University Heights, OH (December 4, 2002) -- The Wilmington College

John Carroll University by a 41-0 score.
The

class. The Blue Streaks then recorded a technical fall before dropping
the two consecutive major decisions by 11-1 and 11-3 scores. JCU
then recorded a fall before recording their third major decision
at the 165-pound weight class.
Derek Beamer (Corydon, IN/Corydon) was defeated at the 174-pound
weight class by a 4-1 score when he was taken down late in the first
period. Cory Norvell (Dayton/Dunbar) was then defeated 4-2 in a
very close decision. The Quakers were then defeated 6-4 at the 197
pound weight class before David Uloho (Dayton/Meadowdale) was defeated
5-4 in overtime, when Thad Poweski escaped just five seconds into
the 30-second period.

States Tournament on Friday and Saturday. The Blue Streaks (2-1,
1-0 OAC) are preparing for the Rochester Institute of Technology
