SATURDAY, DEC. 27

NONCONFERENCE

Lakewood 36, Lawrence 30 - Box Score

A walk-off pin by senior Miguel Arenas at 152 pounds gave the Piners (6-2) a thrilling win over the Cardinals.

Consecutive pins by Angel Gonzalez, Dante Morris and Kevin Rybakowski from 195 to heavyweight helped give Lakewood a 30-6 lead halfway through the dual, but Lawrence stormed by back with six straight victories for 24 points to tie the bout. Arenas wasted little time stopping the steak and giving Lakewood the match by winning by fall in just 29 seconds.
