LOCK HAVEN, Pa., Jan. 22, 2022 – No. 15 Sacred Heart won three of four matches on the mat but three forfeits cost the Pioneers 15 points in a 20-19 loss to Delaware Valley State on Saturday. Sacred Heart (3-3) dropped their second match of the day to host Lock Haven, 40-5.

No. 7 ranked Madison Sandquist (143) and Jacklyn Smith (191) each had pins for the Pioneers against Delaware Valley while Temi Sanusi won with a tech fall at 155 but it wasn’t enough for Sacred Heart to grab the victory. Sandquist improved to 14-3 with the victory which included her team-leading fifth pin of the season.

It was the first varsity win in team history for Delaware Valley.

In the second match, host Lock Haven took advantage of four forfeits and had four pins in a dominating 40-5 decision. Lock Haven beat the Pioneers in a dual meet earlier in December, too., 33-11.

Sacred Heart returns to action on Saturday when they travel to Tiffin (Ohio) University for the Dragon Duals.
