UW-Oshkosh opened its 2016-17 wrestling season with a 39-13 victory over Lakeland University on Friday (Nov. 4) at the KI Convention Center in Green Bay.

Pins by Patrick Reilly, John DePersia, Ethan Altabet and Mark Choinski led UW-Oshkosh to the victory as the Titans totaled 24 points with their four results.

Reilly earned UW-Oshkosh's first pin of the season by sticking Mason Lind to the mat in 4:55 during their 184-pound contest.

DePersia, competing at 197 pounds, followed Reilly's pin with one of his own, gluing Jesus Guzman to the surface in 2:39.

Altabet needed just 21 seconds to pin Alemayehu Lehman during their 125-pound contest while Choinski ended his match with a pin of Marcus McCauley in 3:19 at 157 pounds.

Lakeland University (0-1) jumped to a 7-0 lead over UW-Oshkosh (1-0) behind victories from Anthony Chiarello at 165 pounds and Mitchell Fucile at 174. Chiarello defeated the Titans' Aristide Serrano, 15-2, while Fucile ousted Zach Frassetto, 8-2.

Pins by Reilly and DePersia gave UW-Oshkosh a 12-7 lead, but a forfeit to Lakeland University's Ronnie Balazs at 285 pounds put the Muskies back in front, 13-12.

UW-Oshkosh took the lead for good at 18-13 with Altabet's pin of Lehman and extended its advantage to 21-13 with Anthony Senthavisouk's 6-5 overtime win over Jimmy Spencer at 133 pounds.
