Messiah Petrofes Invitational

December 4-5, 2015
Messiah College, Mechanicsburg, PA

GRANTHAM, Pennsylvania — Sophomore Tristan Bean finished fourth at 125 to lead WVU Tech wrestling to a tenth-place finish at the Messiah Petrofes Tournament in two-day action Friday and Saturday. The Golden Bears finished with 31.0 points while the host school, Messiah College, won with 186.5 points followed by second place Stevens Institute with 133.0 points.

Bean opened the tournament with a bye before defeating Nathan Frantz of McDaniel by fall and Chris Tan of Ursinus with a 7-6 decision. Lucas Malmerg (Messiah), eventual 125 winner, recorded the fall (6:03) in the quarterfinals. The Trenton, Ohio native then won by decision 13-7 over Dylan Nuttal (Bridgewater State) to reach the third-place match where he was defeated due to injury (1:20).

Junior Bryan Overton (165) produced 5.5 team points with three wins during the tournament — two by major decision (10-0 and 11-3) and one by scoring a fall at 3:40 when he faced Logan Laughlin of Muhlenberg. Fellow classmate Terry Nance II scored a fall at 3:49 over Bridgewater State's Chinaka Ekechikwu before falling by an 8-4 decision to Messiah's Nick Havener.

Freshman Noah Julian (285) and sophomore Jephte Jonpaul (197) recorded a fall in their weight classes while junior Paul Gonzalez (133) marked a win by decision, 6-2.
