Deja Vu! Canes win again, Citarelli comes up big!

​The Hurricanes, fresh off a big win two days before, headed to Islip to face the Lions on the road in League VI action. Arguably underdogs for the second straight match, the Canes jumped out to an early 30-0 lead with a forfeit accepted by Senior Tate Buhl at 195, a pin by Senior Hunter Burling at 220, another forfeit at 285 to Senior Liam McIntyre, a pin by Sophomore Joey D'Agostino, and a forfeit to Sophomore Grant Skala at 106. WHB would need all of that lead and more, as the strength of the Islip lineup would be coming up. Islip won at 113, took a major decision at 120, a pin at 126, a technical fall at 132, and finally a pin at 138. Suddenly the Canes lead was only 30-24 with 6 matches left to wrestle. Sophomore James O'Neil took a very close 5-3 victory at 145 to give WHB a 33-24 lead, but then Islip took a 3-2 win at 152, a major decision (10-2) at 160, and finally a 4-0 decision at 170 to take the lead over the Canes for the first time in the meet by a score of 34-33 setting up the final match at 182. Senior Lawrence Citarell, who won the match to clinch the win two days prior, took the mat and delivered a victory for the Hurricanes with a HUGE 3-1 win in the final match. The final score was: Westhampton Beach - 36 - Islip - 34. The Hurricanes up their record to 2-0 on the season in League VI! Congratulations!! Go Canes!!
