Kent State wrestling beat both Gannon University and Mercyhurst University on Wednesday evening at the Kent State Fieldhouse, 19-12 and 26-9, respectively. For the Flashes, it was their first home meet of the abridged 2020-21 season and they evened up their season record at 2-2.
Despite Kent State missing a few of their usual starters due to contract tracing for COVID-19, Coach Andrassy’s backups stepped up, especially in overtime matches Wednesday.
“Anytime you’re missing several starters like we were and you beat two good teams, you’re happy,” Andrassy said.
Freshman Mike Caniglia, junior Joe Andrassy and junior Colin McCracken all won major decisions in the first rounds against Gannon.
