2006 PSAC Wrestling Championship
(hosted by Slippery Rock )

SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. -- Edinboro had a conference-record-tying nine wrestlers qualify for weight-class championship matches and breezed to the team championship in the 63rd Annual Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Wrestling Championships.

The Fighting Scots had six wrestlers claim individual titles, and three entrants earn runner-up honors, and finished the one-day competition in Morrow Field House with 146 points.

Defending champion Bloomsburg had three individual champions and finished second in this year's team competition with 113.5 points, followed by Lock Haven with 91, hosting Slippery Rock with 87.5 and East Stroudsburg with 83.5.

Kutztown finished sixth in the team standings with 46 points, followed by Shippensburg with 41.5, Clarion 31 and Millersville 29.5.

Edinboro's 133-pound individual champion, Shawn Bunch was the only one of four defending champions to successfully retain his crown and was selected by the conference's head coaches as the meet's "Outstanding Wrestler."

Bunch's Fighting Scot teammate and 184-pound champion Alex Clemsen won a 5-3 decision over defending conference champion Charlie Pienaar of Slippery Rock to claim his third PSAC individual title. Clemsen did not compete in the 2005 tournament.

Joining Bunch and Clemsen on the top step of the victory stand were Edinboro teammates Gregor Gillespie (149 pounds), Deonte Penn (165 pounds), Eric Ring (174 pounds) and Joe Fendone (197 pounds).

Penn pinned all three of his rivals in the tournament.

Bloomsburg's Mike Sees, a conference runner-up a year ago, claimed the 125-pound individual title this year, while Huskies teammates Brad Forbes and Mike Spaid won the 141-pound and heavyweight titles, respectively.

Lock Haven's Seth Martin was the 157-pound champion.
