SCRANTON, Pa. – Gracie Haflich (Fountain Hill, PA) earned a pin early to get Lackawanna College women's wrestling some life, but the Fighting Scots from Edinboro made quick work of the Falcons from there, as Edinboro took five matches by fall and nine of the ten bouts in a 43-5 setback for Lackawanna College inside the historic Lackawanna College Student Union gymnasium.
 
The dual started at 180 lbs., where the Fighting Scots (1-0) picked up a win in 39 seconds to go ahead, but the Falcons (2-1) fought back at 207 lbs., where Haflich caught Zoey Sample from Edinboro with a quick takedown and, eventually, a pin at 1:19 to tie the dual at 5-5.
 
Edinboro regained the lead at 103 lbs. through a pin at 1:51, with Lackawanna's Cambrie Herb (Pitman, PA) putting up a fight but ultimately succumbing. A forfeit at 110 gave the Scots a ten-point advantage, and Edinboro really pressed its advantage with back-to-back pins in under 40 seconds at 117 and 124 to go up 25-5. Another forfeit at 131 completely put things out of reach, and Edinboro picked up a pair of technical decisions, both 10-0, at 138 and 145 to extend the lead out to 38-5. In the final bout of the dual, Lackawanna's Michelle Pastuizaca (Nanticoke, PA) took a shot midway through the first period that nearly caught her opponent off-guard, but Edinboro's Kaitlynn Plopi reversed and put Pastuizaca on her back, eventually getting the pin with eight seconds remaining in the first period to put a stamp on the win for the Fighting Scots.
 
Lackawanna College will continue in PSAC competition with its next match on Friday, November 20^th, when the Falcons are set to travel to take on Lock Haven University. That dual is set for a 7:00pm ET start out in Lock Haven, PA.
 
Full dual results, including four exhibitions, are included below.
