COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. – The Cedar Crest College went a perfect 3-0 at the Ursinus College Duals on Sunday at the Floy Lewis Bakes Center. The Falcons defeated New England College 29-19, Felician University by a score of 32-15, and then edged D'Youville University 27-22.

"I'm very proud of our performance today," said Head Wrestling Coach Alex Depew. "Wrestling isn't about which program has the best individuals, but who has the better all-around team. We proved that in three matches today. Our squad saved team points where they could, and got the falls we needed. Draydon and Symarah picked up huge pins in their matches. I'm excited for our first-ever Senior Night on Wednesday."
