Josh Miller Wins All Three Bouts as Etown Goes 0-3 at New York University Quadrangular

NEW YORK, N.Y. --- Elizabethtown College dropped three dual matches at the New York University Quadrangular Saturday, falling 38-15 to host NYU, dropping a 33-17 match to SUNY-Maritime, and falling 46-10 to Middle Atlantic Conference rival King's College (Pa.). The Blue Jays, currently decimated by injuries, had just six healthy wrestlers competing Saturday.

Highlighting Etown's efforts for the day was junior 174-pounder Josh Miller's (Indiana, PA/Indiana) 3-0 performance with a pair of pins. Miller won his first bout on a 3-0 decision over Sam Thorner of NYU. None of his other matches were close, as he downed Jason Ochs of SUNY-Maritime in just 22 seconds, and he pinned Zack Dietrich of King's in 1:57.

First-year 141 pound wrestler Rob Bozart (Camp Hill, PA/Cedar Cliff) went 2-1 on the day for Etown, getting his wins on a pin and on a major decision. He pinned SUNY-Maritime's Mike Loeuis in 6:21, and he scored a 10-0 major decision over MAC rival Matt Flannery of King's. Tom Elicker (Berwyn, PA/Conestoga) scored a 24-8 technical fall five minutes into his bout against SUNY-Maritime's John Nolan at 133 pounds. With a forfeit win over NYU, Elicker went 2-1 for the day as well.

Etown will return to action in its final home match of the season Tuesday, February 10 against MAC opponent Albright College at 7:30 p.m.
