HACKETTSTOWN, NJ – Another first was achieved by the Lackawanna College women's wrestling squad this weekend, as the Falcons competed in their first-ever team duals at Centenary University against the Cyclones and Muhlenberg College in the Garden State on Sunday morning.
 
The Falcons fell 32-2 to Muhlenberg, then 25-14 to the hosts.
 
Lackawanna (0-2) scored one team-point, each, in tech fall losses from Skylar Benninger and Haylee Fessler. Muhlenberg (2-0), in its second season as a varsity sport, won three matches by tech fall and the final two by fall to win going away.
 
Against Centenary, the Falcons were a bit more competitive. A pair of forfeit wins helped the Falcons offset two forfeits of their own, and the Falcons were down 20-10 heading into the final two bouts. A fall at 180 for Centenary over Michelle Pastuizaca (Nanticoke, PA) pushed the Cyclones up 25-10, but Hailey Schumaker (Center Valley, PA) got the Falcons a positive result, blanking her opponent at 207 with a 10-0 tech fall victory.
 
The Falcons are back in action this coming Friday, November 14^th, with a home dual against Bergen CC, alongside the men's squad. The matches will start at 7:00pm ET inside the historic Lackawanna College Student Union gymnasium.
