CLARION, Pa. --- The Golden Eagle wrestling team saw its eight-match win streak snapped on Sunday afternoon, as Clarion fell by a 25-12 score to Rider in the final home match of the 2022-23 regular season.
 
The team honored its five seniors in their final career matches in Tippin Gym, but the Broncs spoiled the festivities with a complete effort throughout the lineup. Rider won seven of the 10 bouts contested on Sunday, claiming bonus points in four of them.
 
The Golden Eagles were the ones to draw first blood, though, with Joey Fischer winning with a late takedown over Tyler Klinsky. Klinsky led 3-1 heading into the third period before a quick escape by Fischer put the bout to within one point. Fischer had been working for an upper-body takedown throughout the match and finally locked it up with eight seconds left, hitting the inside trip to bring Klinsky to his back before time expired.
 
Rider took the initiative over the next four bouts, winning two by bonus points to open up a 15-3 lead. Cam Pine took four of those points back in the 165-pound bout, working over Hunter Mays for a major decision. Not only did Pine control the pace of the action, taking Mays down twice in the first two periods, he also drew the benefit of a number of stall points as he broke Mays down. Pine took a 7-0 lead with a hard ride in the third period, drawing one more stall point and taking the riding point for the 9-0 major.
 
Will Feldkamp kept the dream of a comeback win alive at 184 pounds, tilting Isaac Dean a number of times and coming within a hair's breadth of a win by fall in his final home match. The senior was forced to settle for the technical fall, hanging a 17-2 score on Dean in just three minutes and 51 seconds.
 
Ty Bagoly battled in his final career match on his home mat, working hard against nationally-ranked Ethan Laird but ultimately falling by a major decision. David Szuba wrapped the match for the Broncs with a decision over Austin Chapman, winning by a late takedown.
