The American University wrestling team dominated Drexel to the tune of a 40-6 victory Tuesday night in Bender Arena, improving its current win streak to four matches. Seven Eagles won with bonus points highlighted by #4 Mike Cannon, #12 Kyle Borshoff and Daniel Mitchell who each recorded falls.

#17 Jasen Borshoff took to the mat first at 125 lbs. and posted an impressive 26-10 tech-fall over Yi-Ming Law in just 4:40. J. Borshoff built a 15-5 lead over Law after one period, scoring six takedowns and adding three back points. Five more takedowns in the second period and an addition point for riding time gave J. Borshoff the tech-fall, 26-10. Thomas Williams followed J. Borshoff at 133 lbs. and posted a 12-2 major decision over Joshua Yurasits. After a scoreless first period, Williams scored a takedown and six back points in the second for an 8-1 lead. He finished the match off with an escape, takedown and one additional point for riding time to get the 12-2 major decision.

Drexel got on the board at 141 lbs. as Shane Fenningham took a 5-1 decision over Nick Pitas, moving the team score to 9-3. K. Borshoff put American back on track at 149 lbs., scoring his third fall of the year at the 1:48 mark. The 2009 All-American overpowered John Mcdermott off the opening whistle, scoring a quick takedown and three back points to take a 5-0 lead. K. Borshoff added three more back points before scoring the fall midway through the period.

#3 Steve Fittery gave American an 18-4 lead in the team scores with an 18-4 major decision over Joe Booth at 157 lbs. Fittery held a 5-2 lead after period one and narrowly missed adding back points as time expired before he could get the count. Leading 8-2 after the second, the junior added an escape, takedown and two sets of back points in the third and with riding time advantage took the major decision, 18-4.

Alex Rinaldi scored Drexel's second and final victory of the night with a 6-3 decision at 165 lbs. over Tanner Shaffer. Phillip Barreiro then began a stretch of four straight American victories to close out the dual, scoring a 6-1 decision over Rob Brooks at 174 lbs. Cannon gave the Eagles a 28-6 advantage in the team scores with a second period fall over Justin Wieller at 184 lbs., his seventh fall of the year and fourth in as many matches. The two-time All-American scored a takedown off the opening whistle and proceeded to ride Wieller for the remainder of the first period. Cannon opened the second with a takedown off a reshot and then locked Wieller up in a cradle for the fall at the 4:19 mark.

Freshman Daniel Mitchell made a successful debut at 197 lbs., earning a first period fall over Jack Callendar in his first match of the year. Mitchell scored a takedown less than one minute into the action and used a hammer lock midway through the period to turn Callendar for the fall. Blake Herrin received a forfeit at heavyweight, moving the final score to 40-6 in favor of the Eagles.

Cannon improved to 17-1 on the season with his victory, moving his career record to 109-18. He is now one win shy of tying 2007 NCAA National Champion Josh Glenn, '08, for second place on American's career wins list. K. Borshoff is now 16-2 on the season and 89-33 for his career, placing him two victories shy of tying Bret Ruth, '98, and Mark Snuffin, '89, for fifth all-time.

Fittery is now 24-1 on the year and is riding an 18-match win streak. J. Borshoff improved to 16-4 while Williams' overall record now stands at 15-9. Tuesday night's victory improved the Eagles dual meet record to 6-6 on the year and was the team's fourth straight victory.

American will be back in action again on Thursday, January 28, as the team travels to Binghamton, N.Y. The Eagles and Bearcats are set to hit the mat at 7:00 p.m.
