BETHLEHEM, Penn. – In the return to his home state, true freshman Pierson Manville notched the first win of his Sun Devil career, beating four-time NCAA Championship qualifier Malyke Hines, 5-3, in the Sun Devils' 25-11 loss to No. 21 Cornell on Friday at the Leeman-Turner Arena at Grace Hall.
Making just his third career start, Manville was propelled by an early takedown and outlasted the high-powered Hines, who entered tonight 14-5 and a winner of six of his past seven matches.
Manville capped a late Sun Devil push to close out the dual against the Mountain Hawks, as they took the final four bouts of the evening. Starting at 157 pounds, Lehigh stormed out to a commanding 25-0 lead after winning the opening six bouts, a deficit too great for the Sun Devils to erase. It was the first time this season the Sun Devils dropped the first five bouts to open a dual.
Richard Figueroa, Damian Moreno and Emilio Ysaguirre joined Manville in earning Sun Devil victories on Friday. Figueroa outdid a fellow top-10 125-pounder in Sheldon Seymour, 7-3, and Moreno sank Mason Ziegler for his second career dual win. Figueroa snapped a 10-match winning streak from InterMat's 10th-ranked Seymour.
Emilio Ysaguirre picked up his second top-30 win in a week, beating No. 29 Carter Bailey, 4-1, after downing Cornell's No. 30 Josh Saunders on Feb. 15.
Cohlton Schultz's 10-match winning streak came to an end at the hands of No. 6 Owen Trephan, who moved to 19-0 on the year.
