ALLIANCE, Ohio – Sophomore Aaron Silverio won the 285-pound title and seven other members of the West Liberty University wrestling team placed in the Mount Union Invitational, which wrapped up here on Saturday afternoon.

Coach Brian Davis's Hilltoppers finished fifth in the highly-competitive field. Lake Erie led the team scoring at 170.5 with host Mount Union second at 137.5. Gannon was third at 118 with Thiel (110.5) and West Liberty (99) rounding out the top five.

Silverio had to work overtime to claim his heavyweight crown but scored an escape in the tiebreaker for a 3-2 win against Lake Erie's Bobby Zappitelli.

Two other WLU grapplers made it to the championship match in their respective weight classes but Zach Brown (125) and Erie Antesberger (174) had to settle for runner-up honors.

Cole Nace was fourth at 141 pounds while Bryan Skoff scored a 6-1 decision against DeMadre Turner in the Fifth-Place Match at 157 pounds to give the Hilltoppers fifth and sixth place in that weight class.

Daniel Carpenter, wrestling unattached, finished seventh at 157 with an 11-3 major decision against Mount Union's Tyler Pidgeon.

R.J. Waugh, another WLU wrestling competing unattached, was fifth at 197 after taking a forfeit win against Thiel's Shawn Reynolds.
