Lions defeat Otterbein in first home dual in more than five years

TDR Editor’s Note ; Glad to see a rebirth or start of a college team. Hosting home meets and publicizing them is an important part of building a tradition and the backing of fans.

CINCINNATI, Ohio –  The Mount St. Joseph Lions led by first year Head Coach Charles Mason are in the midst of what has been dubbed a “Rebirth” of the once defunct MSJ Wrestling program. That “Rebirth” came full circle last night as the Lions took to the mats in the Harrington Center for the first time in more than five years. They did so be welcoming the Cardinals of Otterbein and a near capacity crowd to Delhi. The match opened with a pair of forfeits at 125 lbs and 133 lbs, setting up the first official match of the night at 141. For the Lions that meant the lone sophomore in the lineup, captain Nate McClanahan (Cincinnati, Ohio/Elder) trying to secure the early lead for the Lions. After a slow first period in which no points were scored, the match began to heat up in second. McClanahan scored first as he opened period number two on the bottom and managed a quick escape. DiSabato from Otterbein came back and took a 4-3 lead which he held until late in the third, when McClanahan secured a two-point takedown to clinch the victory.  Rest of the Story at http://www.msjsports.com/sports/wrest/2018-19/releases/20190213g5535r?mc_cid=a2a4187d4b&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b
