  Mat Notes:

     Connetquot (6-1) defeated rival Lindenhurst in a League II showdown dual before a large turnout for host Connetquot's Alumni night. The T'Birds won ten of the 15 bouts contested and were paced by all-county matmen Steven Wilkinson (120) and Will Obert-Thorn (132). Connetquot also registered three first period pins: David Muchnick (160), Kevin Jorgensen (182) and highly-touted Sean Schaller. Schaller scored with a strong double-leg takedown and clamped his opponent at the 1:28 mark in his 285-pound bout. Connetquot head coach, Bill Santoro, is a member of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame and is now in his 41st year at the helm.

    Lindenhurst rallied with three falls by outstanding upperweights: Nick Gianelli (170), Jack Winey (195) and Jeff Perez with a fall at 220 and brought the team score to 30-21 in favor of host Connetquot.
