West Liberty's Humphreys Finishes 5th in Regional

February 25, 2017

ERIE, Pa. – West Liberty's Bryce Humphreys came up one win shy of qualifying for the NCAA Division II nationals here Saturday afternoon as the Super Region One Tournament concluded at the Mercyhurst Athletic Center.

Humphreys, a sophomore 133-pounder from Winfield, W.Va., advanced through Saturday's third-round consolations with a second-period injury default win against Kutztown's Lucas Miller.

That sent Humphreys into the consolation semifinals where he took a loss to Notre Dame's David Bavery. The Hilltopper sophomore had to settle for a fifth-place finish, accomplishing that in impressive fashion with a dominant 18-3 technical fall against Seton Hill's Tyler Kenney in the fifth place match.

Two other West Liberty wrestlers also advanced to Saturday's action but came up short of the place matches.

Josh Ridgeway dropped a 6-2 decision to Kutztown's Michael O'Brien in their third round consolation match at 141 while DeMadre Turner came out on the short end of an 8-0 tally against Gannon's Garrett Smith in their 165-pound third round consolation bout.

Notre Dame ran away with the team title, racking up 155 points to 116.5 for runner-up Gannon. Pitt-Johnstown was third at 104.5 with host Mercyhurst (93.5) and surprising Seton Hill (83.5) rounding out the top five.
