Hayes, Schany Take First To Lead Virginia At Clarion Open
Nov. 5, 2017
CLARION, Pa. – Two Cavaliers took first in their weight class to lead five total wrestlers who placed in the opening competition of the season on Sunday (Nov. 5) to lead Virginia at the Clarion Open.
Redshirt freshman Louie Hayes (Orland Park, Ill.) and redshirt junior Will Schany (Blair, Neb.) won their weight classes to lead the way for the Cavaliers. Hayes claimed first at 125 pounds with a win over No. 19 Jake Gromacki of Clarion with a 7-4 decision, while Schany picked up an 8-5 decision over No. 18 Devin Skatzka of Indiana to take first at 174 pounds.
“We showed a lot of fight out there today,” said Virginia head coach Steve Garland. “We have a ton to work on. I saw a lot of technical mistakes, but again, we are a young team so that was to be expected. The good news is we had some great come-from-behind wins; the kind of wins that can set the tone for the season. Our guys were taking a lot of shots and never quitting.
“Louie (Hayes) in particular came from behind three matches in a row to win his weight class. He was amazing today. It was the best I’ve seen him. He was so composed and steady with late time. Will (Schany) did the same thing in the semifinals, getting the winning takedown with eight seconds left. Jake (Keating) came all the way back from down 10-to-5 and won a shootout in overtime. There was some great stuff like that happening all day. It’s the kind of stuff that makes a coach very happy.”
Redshirt sophomore Sam Krivus (Greensburg, Pa.) took third place with a 3-2 decision over freshman Jake Keating (Naperville, Ill.) at 149 pounds. Keating finished in fourth-place. Redshirt senior Andrew Atkinson (Lynchburg, Va.) also posted a fourth-place finish for the Cavaliers wrestling at 165 pounds.
It was the first competition of the season for Virginia who sent 16 wrestlers to compete in an attached status for the Cavaliers, while six more wrestlers competed unattached.
Virginia will return to action next weekend, traveling to compete at the Journeymen Duals in Albany, N.Y. The Cavaliers will face Kent State and No. 12 Rutgers in a pair of dual matches on Saturday, Nov. 11.
