MORGANTOWN — West Virginia University earned its third straight victory, defeating Eastern Wrestling League opponent Lock Haven, 30-6, on Sunday at the Coliseum.
The Mountaineers (6-3, 3-0) won eight of 10 bouts and thoroughly dominated the Bald Eagles (7-6, 1-3) throughout the match. Posting key victories for WVU were junior Jared Garvin (133) and freshman Stephen Waite (141). Garvin scored a 7-5 decision over Billy Ashnault after garnering five points in the third period along with 1:51 riding time. Waite got his second win as a Mountaineer after shutting out Owen Wilkinson in an 80 major decision. Waite scored on a takedown in the second period, followed by two more near-fall points and another two back points in the third period to seal the victory.
No. 12 ranked Jared Villers (197) had the most thorough win of the afternoon, beating Ben Hepburn in a 17-0 technical fall that ended in 4:51. Villers scored 15 back points during the match, and improves to 13-2 overall while remaining undefeated in dual matches.
Junior Chance Litton (174) also had an impressive win by dismantling Mike Metzger in a 16-2 decision. Litton originally won by technical fall after scoring three near-fall points as time expired, but the ruling was reduced to two points giving Litton a 16-2 major decision.
No. 18 Zac Fryling (157) registered 10 take-downs in a 2111 major decision over John Mangini. Fryling improves to 9-4 overall and holds a fourmatch winning streak.

Donnie Jones (165) came out aggressive and controlled his match throughout, defeating Derek Caldwell in an 115 decision. The victory gives Jones a 3-0 mark in EWL play as WVU prepares for rivals Pitt and Edinboro in the coming weeks.
