Blue Defeats Gold in Scrimmage
Panthers Open the 2016-17 Season Sunday, Nov. 6 at Mountaineer Duals
PITTSBURGH – The Pitt wrestling team held its annual Blue versus Gold scrimmage Saturday afternoon in the Fitzgerald Field House.
The afternoon featured 17 total bouts, which included six preliminary matches. The Blue team came out with a 20-18 victory over the Gold team.
“I thought today went well,” said head coach Jason Peters. “Guys went out and hustled with intensity so we had some good bouts. Dom [Forys], as always, carries a great pace and goes out from whistle to whistle. I thought TeShan [Campbell] did a good job rising to the occasion and beating two guys that are pretty talented in the middle. I think some of the freshmen did a good job wrestling their first college matches on the big mat. Overall it was a good event to get us started for the upcoming season.”
With the exception of redshirt junior Ryan Solomon at 285 pounds, all returning starters earned wins this afternoon including junior Dom Forys (133), sophomore Robert Lee (141), senior Mikey Racciato (149), sophomore TeShan Campbell (165) and redshirt sophomore Zach Bruce (197).
Weight class breakdowns for the Panthers will be released throughout the following week on PittsburghPanthers.com.
Pitt opens the 2016-17 campaign Sunday, Nov. 6 at the Mountaineer Duals in Morgantown, W.Va. The Panthers will take on Campbell and Ohio University.
