Pitt 26, West Virginia 12

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The No. 9 Pitt wrestling team won its 17th-straight match in the EWL, rolling to a 26-12 win at West Virginia on Saturday.

Anthony Zanetta (125), Shelton Mack (133), Tyler Nauman (141), Donnie Tasser (157), Tyler Wilps (165), Ethan Headlee (174) and Matt Wilps (197) posted victories for the Panthers.

Headlee, returning from an injury, made a statement with a 12-2 major decision over No. 22 Lance Bryson. It was the second time Headlee, ranked No. 26, notched a major over Bryson this season, but Pitt’s redshirt senior has steadily dropped in the rankings because of multiple injuries.

No. 16 Zanetta and No. 20 Shelton Mack opened the night with wins over ranked opponents. Zanetta held on for a 2-0 decision over No. 26 Shane Young at 125 pounds, while Mack used a five-point move on his way to an 8-6 decision over No. 24 Nate Pennesi at 133.
