and went 1-1 ... Johns Hopkins remained undefeated with big wins against
Goucher (104-38) and Villa Julie (78-23). The Blue Jays, ranked 25th in

Dickinson and Washington were winners over Arcadia and Wesley,
respectively, while Ursinus fell to Susquehanna.

HOLSINGER RANKED 5th IN DIVISION III
Senior Bill Holsinger of the Muhlenberg wrestling team
 is ranked fifth in Division III at 149 pounds,
according to the adidas/Brute NWCA poll released just prior to the
Thanksgiving holiday.
This is the highest ranking ever for Holsinger, who was eighth for most of
last year and seventh in the preseason poll. He is off to an 8-0 start,
including the 149-pound championship at the King’s tournament, in
which he decisioned seventh-ranked Rory Tobias of Oneonta State, 4-3, in
the title bout.
Holsinger has two potential upcoming meetings with the second-ranked
wrestler in his class, Andy Vogel of Messiah. The Mules compete at
Messiah’s Petrofes Invitational this weekend and host the Falcons in a
dual match next Friday.
Senior Tyler Cathey, who has yet to wrestle this year, is ranked eighth at
heavyweight. Western Maryland, Muhlenberg’s opponent in a dual next
Wednesday, is ranked 21st.
