Saucon senior Michael “Mick” Sullivan pulls out a pin againt the Northwestern Lehigh Tigers.
Following the 44-21 Friday night loss to Notre Dame Green Pond, Saucon Valley quickly licked their wounds and got right back at it the next morning. The surly and soured Panthers half-heartedly welcomed the Northwestern Lehigh Tigers to town and then, after giving them a 56-15 pounding, showed them the door.
Of the thirteen weight classes, Saucon was credited with ten victories including two forfeits (106,126). Of the eight contested bouts, the Panthers tallied six pins, a tech-fall and a decision. Northwestern Lehigh battled for a couple of falls (113, 215) and a decision (145).

Saucon Valley picked up falls from Ermal Duka (120), Travis Riefenstahl (132), Mason Beckowski (138), Chris Arciuolo (152), Jake Jones (172) and Mick Sullivan (285). Riefenstahl (:18) and Arciuolo (:46) each hammered home first-period pins for the Panthers.

At 189, Saucon Valley’s Ty Csencsits looked good rolling up some big numbers against the Tigers Dartanyon Delillo. Scoring three takedowns, nine near-fall points and a very quick reversal to start the third period, Csencsits obtained a 15-point margin that earned him the tech-fall.

Sophomore Liam Scrivanich added to the Panther cause with a workman-like effort that led to a win over Northwestern’s Mason Brensinger. Scrivanich outscored Brensinger 6-3 in the second period with a couple takedowns and two near-fall points to build an 8-4 lead. He then added another takedown and a reversal to close out the bout. Scrivanich looked sharp with a quality 12-7 victory.
