Tioga surges past Lansing with big finish

From Binghamton Press & Sun-Bulletin staff reports

Lansing won the first three matches, but then it was pretty much all Tioga as the Tigers rolled to a 50-21 home victory Wednesday in an Interscholastic Athletic Conference wrestling match.

Tioga (2-0), the defending state small-school team champions, won nine of the last 10 matches to wipe out a 15-0 deficit.

All but one of those victories came by pin or technical fall, the quickest a nine-second pin of Colden Knapp by Tioga's Josh Peters at 189 pounds.

Kyle Dake had one of Lansing's victories, beating Tommy Ferguson by fall in 1:00 of their 112-pound bout.

* Candor 43, Odessa-Montour 22: Joe Swansborough and Adam Paz had quick pins at 171 and 215, respectively, as Candor won at Odessa-Montour.

Swansborough pinned Justin Stillman in 14 seconds and Paz pinned Chris Hoffman in 33 seconds at 215.

NON-LEAGUE

* Maine-Endwell 40, Susquehanna Valley 27: Dan Reynolds' dramatic triple-overtime victory over John Depersiis at 189 pounds highlighted M-E's home victory over SV in a non-league match between Southern Tier Athletic Conference teams.

Reynolds and Depersiis were tied at 2-2 after regulation and the one-minute first overtime period.

In the first of two non-sudden death 30-second overtime periods, Depersiis got an escape to take a 3-2 lead but later in the period was called for locking hands, a violation that gave Reynolds a point that tied the score at 3. Reynolds then got an escape with about 15 seconds left in the second 30-second overtime period to get the 4-3 victory.
