EAST STROUDSBURG - Senior Dave Williams pinned Millersville's Ray Bennett in the final match of the night to lift East Stroudsburg University to a 24-19 win over the Marauders on Tuesday night at Koehler Fieldhouse.

The Warriors entered the 184-pound bout facing a 19-8 deficit, but knew that they would earn six points for a forfeit at heavyweight.

Sophomore Shane Mallory won a 12-3 major decision over Steve Funk at 184, making the score 19-12 going into the 197-pound match-up between Williams and Bennett.

Bennett had an early takedown, but Williams quickly escaped. Williams scored his takedown at the 1:05 mark in the first period, and seconds later the match was over with the fall coming with 58 seconds left in the period.

ESU pulled within 19-18 with the pin, and Chris Birchler picked up the forfeit at 285 to improve to 19-6 on the year and take the victory.

Millersville built its 19-8 lead on the strength of three straight decisions from 149 through 165 and a quick fall from Jeremy Brooks at 174. John Andel opened the match at 125 pounds with a 14-5 major decision for the Marauders.

Junior Matt Swallow used a big second period to post a 17-2 technical fall over Matt Leggett at 133 pounds to give ESU a 5-4 advantage.

At 141, senior Sean Carr earned a 7-3 decision against Mike Greck in a rematch of their consolation bout at the PSAC Championships in December, which Carr won 3-2.

ESU improves to 3-8 in dual competition this season and will travel to Delaware Valley for a 7 p.m. start on Friday.
