AIC AND WESLEYAN
Hartford, Conn.- Junior co-captain Michael Doros (East Hartford, Conn.) won both his matches at 184 pounds to lead the Trinity College Bantams to a sweep of the visiting Division II American International College Yellowjackets and the Wesleyan University Cardinals in wrestling action this evening at Ferris Athletic Center.

Fellow junior co-captain Wesley Connell (Simsbury, Conn.) helped to seal the victory with a 5-1 win against Wesleyan, putting the score up to, 21-6, and by pinning his American International opponent at 3:50. Senior Eric Egolf (Glastonbury, Conn.) won both of his last home matches dominating his Wesleyan rival, 7-1, and shutting out his American International adversary, 5-0. Wesleyan's grappler at 174 pounds was no match for Bantams senior Lucas McKittrick (Lincolnville, Maine), who defeated the Cardinal, 7-2, sealing the team's victory in his final home appearance.
