BETHLEHEM, Pa. --- Adrian Gacek enjoyed a perfect day of competition in his pool and seven other Golden Eagles finished with a pair of wins, as the Golden Eagle wrestling team competed at the Journeymen Collegiate Classic.
 
Gacek went 3-0 in 184 Gold – Pool B with two of his three wins coming with bonus points. The redshirt junior started his day with a first period fall over Hofstra's Jaden Simpson; Gacek took Simpson down twice in the first period and then locked in an armbar, eventually working Simpson to his back with six seconds remaining in the period to get the fall. Gacek followed that up with a 17-1 technical fall over Franklin & Marshall's Leo Varga, with two takedowns and a four-point near fall in the third period and then beat Virginia Tech's Kyle Scott 7-3 for a decision.
 
In addition to Gacek's performances, the Golden Eagles had seven other wrestlers that won two of their three matches:
 

• Alejandro Herrera-Rondon won 165 Red – Pool B with a 2-1 record, bouncing back from a 7-3 loss to Illinois's Ryan Bennett with two wins by decision. He logged a takedown apiece in the first and second periods against Columbia's Nick Campagna on the way to an 8-1 win and then beat Hofstra's Jake Slotnick 5-3 in his final match of the day.
• Zachary Marrero went 2-1 in 133 Red – Pool A, losing his first match to Appalachian State's Joe Fongaro by 12-4 major decision before logging a decision and a win by fall of his own. Taking on Maryland's Liston Seibert in his second bout of the day, Marrero worked for a takedown with 13 seconds remaining in the third period and then held off his opponent's reversal attempt to take the 5-4 decision. Marrero beat Hofstra's Gauge Shipp by fall midway through the first period, picking Shipp up and tossing him to his back with 1:22 left on the clock.
• Keagan Oler went 2-1 in 141 Red – Pool B, building on his win over Ohio State's Nic Bouzakis at last week's Clarion open with two victories on Sunday. He opened up with an impressive 16-1 technical fall over Lock Haven's Jake Zaltsman, in large part thanks to a takedown and four point near fall early in the third period. He beat Indiana's Lucas Peters in his second bout of the day, scoring the only takedown of the match with 1:10 remaining in the first period and winning by 4-2 decisions. Oler lost in a tight match in his third bout of the day, dropping a 6-3 decision to Binghamton's Carson DesRosier.
• Matthew Smith won his first two bouts in 157 Green – Pool A, beating Davidson's Trevor Jones by 8-3 decision and Navy's Tyler Russ by a 5-2 score. He didn't allow a takedown in the first of those two matches, clinching the win over Jones with a takedown in the third period, and in the latter, he scored the lone takedown of the bout for a victory over Russ. In his final bout of the day, Smith lost by major decision to North Carolina State's Griffin Laplante.
• Gavin Lewis rebounded from a loss in his first match in 133 White – Pool B, picking up a 12-4 major decision over Hofstra's Ryan Arbeit. Lewis led 5-4 late in the third period and Arbeit came in hard on his right leg, but Lewis fought off the attempt and tossed Arbeit to his back for the takedown and four near fall points.Lewis closed the day with a 9-4 decision over Franklin & Marshall's Jack Parker, taking him down with 29 seconds left to solidify his lead.
• Jaden Wehler opened his 2-1 day in 165 White – Pool A with a 9-2 decision over Bloomsburg's Danny Dacey, opening the match with a takedown and locking up a four point near fall two minutes later to take a huge early lead. He lost by technical fall to Cornell's David Ogunsanya in his second match but ended the day on a high note, taking down Franklin & Marshall's Jesse Scott with 23 seconds left in the third period to complete a 5-2 win.
• Dylan Barrett started his day off with a technical fall over Sacred Heart's Lucas Loffredo, with the vast majority of the scoring action coming in an exciting second period. Barrett got one final takedown early in the third period, taking control to clinch the win. He followed up with an exciting, literally last second win over Harvard's Carter Shin, taking shin down at the edge of the circle just as time was expiring to earn a 5-4 decision. Barrett lost to Davidon's DeLoach Koa by 10-7 decision in his final bout of the day.
