How It Happened 
  • Freshly ranked Jared Kuhns gave York the lead right of the gates with a come-from-behind victory over Nick Denora. Denora scored a first-period takedown and maintained the lead into the second. Kuhns escaped off bottom to start the second period and later scored a takedown to take a 3-2 lead into the third. Kuhns and Denora scrapped it out in the third, but neither wrestler managed to score as Kuhns held on for the victory.
  • Newly ranked Dalton Rohrbaugh put together a gutsy performance to pull out an upset victory at 133 lbs. Rohrbaugh faced adversity in the first period as he surrendered a takedown and suffered a lower body injury that noticeably affected his mobility the rest of the way. After a scoreless second period, Rohrbaugh escaped off bottom to start the third and scored a takedown to take a 3-2 lead late in the bout. Jake Giordano provided some late drama as he escaped with 22 seconds left, but he was unable to do any further damage as Rohrbaugh, on one leg, held off the NCAA All-American and clinched the victory with his 1:45 in riding time.
  • The Lions would go on to get bonus points in two of the next three bouts to take a 13-6 lead. Timmy Sparks gave Matt Surich all he could handle at 165 as he fought through four takedowns by Surich with five escapes in the bout.
  • TCNJ ended the dual with bonus in three of the final four bouts, but not at 197 lbs. where Camden Farrow nearly pulled off the second upset of the night for York in a battle with Quinn Haddad. Farrow scored the first takedown of the bout and took a 2-1 lead into the second period. Haddad started the third on top and tilted Farrow for two, but Farrow managed to escape. Haddad took Farrow down later in the second, but Farrow scored a reversal as the bout stood tied, 5-5, heading into the third. Haddad reversed Farrow early in the third, but Farrow escaped trailing by one. Farrow shot late and had Haddad in trouble with a high crotch, but the Lion was saved by the bell as time expired before Farrow could finish his shot.

Up Next
The Spartans return to action after the Thanksgiving break at the New Standard Corp. Invitational from December 3-4 at York's M&T Bank Field House.
