SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - The Norwich University
wrestling team dropped a 37-3 decision to NEWA rival Springfield
College on Wednesday night. The Cadets and Pride split the first
two bouts, but SC won the final eight matchups to secure the
victory.
Springfield's Casey Leslie doubled up John DaSilva, 4-2, in the
125-pound bout to start the evening, but Norwich's Josh Bolduc beat
Corey Wert, 4-3, at 133 pounds to tie the score at 3-3. That was as
close as the Cadets would get, however, as the Pride reeled off
eight straight wins to finish the match.
Norwich (5-10) will return to action on Saturday, Feb. 7, when
the Cadets travel to Lexington, Va., to take part in the
All-Academy Championships, which are being hosted by VMI.
