Clarion (8-4) will return home to host Old Dominion on Sunday when they will host both their senior day as well as a reunion for the Men of the 70’s.

The Spartans won six of the 10 bouts on Friday night, including a number of bonus-point victories, in taking the 10-point win over the Golden Eagles. Clarion got their own shots in against Michigan State, including a win by fall by Ty Bagoly and a trio of technically-sound wins elsewhere in the lineup.

Bagoly improved his win streak to seven straight matches, pinning Christian Rebottaro just 2:11 into the heavyweight bout to put a positive spin on the end of the team match. Rebottaro took Bagoly down early, and it appeared the former’s size and strength advantage would put Bagoly back on his heels. However, Bagoly countered a shot late in the period, tossing Rebottaro directly to his back and pinning him.

Brock Zacherl earned the first win of the night for the Golden Eagles with a solid, sound win over Alex Hrisopoulos. He dropped Hrisopoulos twice, once with a leg sweep and again with a double-leg, and then smartly fended him off in the third period for the win. Mike Bartolo also had a good third period, defeating Drew Hughes 2-1 in one of the tightest bouts of the night. Bartolo continued to fire shot after shot at Hughes in the third, as Hughes was in line for a riding point despite the bout being scoreless. He continued to work and got the takedown at quite literally the last second, taking control of Hughes for the 2-1 decision.

Rounding out the wins on the night for Clarion was Greg Bulsak, who fell behind early to Nick May but battled him the rest of the way en route to a 10-7 decision. May led 6-3 at one point in the bout and had Bulsak on the ropes, but Bulsak escaped and then very quickly got deep on a shot and brought May to the mat to tie it heading into the third period. May nearly took Bulsak down with a shot but Bulsak fought it off and turned the tables, dropping him to take the lead and hold on for the win.
