Williamsville East easily improved its dual meet record to 5-1 after dominating Canisius, 54-9, last Thursday at Canisius.

The Flames only lost two matches throughout the entire match.

Jacob Beichner (125), Max Cohen (130), Steve Meyer (160), and Will Kelly (189) all recorded first period pins.

Ben Mikac (112) and Matt Calleri (135) won by technical fall (win 15-0). Brandon Munoz (140) won by major decision (eight points or more), 10-1, as did Sean Trabert (145), 11-3.

Jayson Dieckman won 7-0 at 152. MP Joseph beat Casey Scheehan, 10-3, at 215. Scheehan beat Joseph 15-5 last year. Scheehan weighed 14 pounds heavier (214-190). Carlton Brock won via forfeit at 171.

In exhibition matches, Sam Beichner (96, first period pin), Ryan Tideswell (275, second period pin), Ben Bermudez (130, 5-3) and Quinton Brock (152, second period pin) also recorded victories.

"We dominated them," said East coach Henry Fumerelle. "They are really starting to believe in themselves and are not satisfied. They continue to work hard. Once they got the fire lit up, the sky has been the limit."

East has a busy week, beginning with a road match at 6 p.m. on Wednesday at Iroquois. They travel to Section V powerhouse Holley at 6 p.m. on Friday then come back at 9 a.m. on Saturday to wrestle in the Williamsville North Tournament.
