11/13/2022 10:41:00 PM

Bethlehem, PA - Hofstra picked up three championships and two second-place finishers at the Journeymen Collegiate Classic Sunday at Freedom High School. Hofstra's 15 wrestlers posted a combined record of 26-20 at the tournament.

Chase Liardi won a championship at the 133-pound B Division, posting a 3-0 mark. Liardi won his Pool A round robin matches over Jake Eckerlee of Buffalo (7-1) and Daniel Urochuck of Army (6-3) to finish first in the pool. He defeated Pool B winner Evan Mougalian of Penn, 5-4, in the championship match. 

Jacob Ferreira was the 184-pound A Division champion after winning Pool B with a major decision over Harvard's Luke Rada (17-4) and a win by fall over Max Hale of Penn in sudden victory. In the championship match, Ferreira pinned Leo Tarantino of Harvard at the 6:36 mark.

Nikolas Miller was Hofstra's third champion, winning the 197-pound C Division. Miller had Pool B wins over Lock Haven's Kaleb Snodgrass (fall, 6:34) and LIU's John Dusza (major dec., 15-6) to advance to the championship match. In the final, Miller bested Dakota Rodgers of Pitt-Johnstown, 9-5. 

Eric Shindel placed second at the 157-pound E Division, going 2-1 in pool play as the division only had four wrestlers. Trey Rodgers placed second at the 197-pound A Division, winning Pool B at 2-0 before forfeiting the championship match.
