Edinboro rolls past East Stroudsburg
Two duals into its history, Edinboro is still perfect.
The Fighting Scots won eight of 10 bouts and beat East Stroudsburg 33-11 on Tuesday night at Koehler Fieldhouse in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. Six of Edinboro’s wins came by fall or technical superiority.
The victory came one night after Edinboro beat Lackawanna 43-5 in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in the first dual in program history. The Fighting Scots wrapped up the two-dual road trip at 2-0, while East Stroudsburg fell to 1-1.
East Stroudsburg went into the dual without two of its three ranked wrestlers in the lineup. Yianna Foufas, ranked No. 16 at 110 pounds in the latest HerMat NCAA rankings, and Ragan Retell, ranked No. 12 at 138 pounds, did not compete.
The Warriors’ lone ranked wrestler made quick work of her bout. Olivia Klein of East Stroudsburg, ranked No. 10 at 103 pounds, opened the dual with an 11-0 technical superiority over Edinboro’s Zoey Jewett in 1:51. Klein won the East Stroudsburg Open title on Nov. 1.
Edinboro answered with three straight wins. Killian Evans of Edinboro posted a 10-0 technical superiority over East Stroudsburg’s Lexi Desiato at 110 pounds. At 117 pounds, Leah Sample of Edinboro beat East Stroudsburg’s Isabella Washington-Vasquez 14-8.

East Stroudsburg’s Ariel Manning needed just 32 seconds to beat Edinboro’s Braylin Jones 14-1 at 131 pounds. It was the quickest win of the dual and pulled the Warriors within 12-10.
That was as close as East Stroudsburg would get. Zoe Furman of Edinboro posted a 12-2 technical superiority over East Stroudsburg’s Angelina Hiller in 1:58 at 138 pounds. Kailani Barrientos of Edinboro beat East Stroudsburg’s Jade Huerta 12-0 in 1:56 at 145 pounds to make it 20-11.
Edinboro shuffled its upper weights from the night before, and the move paid off. Avry Ryhal, who wrestled at 180 pounds against Lackawanna, dropped to 160 pounds and pinned East Stroudsburg’s Marlo Williams in 1:43. Kaitlynn Plopi, who wrestled at 160 pounds on Monday, moved up to 180 pounds and pinned East Stroudsburg’s Leylani Wiltshire in 2:48. Ryhal’s fall clinched the dual, and Plopi’s made it 30-11.
