KING'S WRESTLING COACH NED McGINLEY POSTS 400TH CAREER WIN AS MONARCHS GO 1-3 AT JOHN REESE DUALS
WILKES-BARRE – King's College wrestling coach Ned McGinley posted the 400th win of his career on Saturday at the John Reese Duals at Wilkes University.
King's went 1-3 on the day, but used a 19-12 triumph over New York University in the second round to present McGinley with his milestone victory. In his 41st season at the Monarchs' helm, McGinley is currently 400-334-1 mark but several of his losses came early in his career when the Monarchs wrestled at the Division II level
In its first match, the Monarchs fell to powerful Ithaca, ranked third nationally in Division III, by a 34-9 margin. After defeating NYU, the Monarchs dropped a 31-9 verdict to 16th ranked Cortland State. In their final match King's lost to Oneonta State 21-13.
King's was led by junior Mike Reilly who went 4-0 on the day. Reilly, who is ranked eighth nationally at 184, posted a pin, major decision, and two decisions on the day. At 174, freshman David Foley was 2-0 while fellow rookie Brendon Dwyer was also 2-0 at 197. Senior Taylor Green enjoyed a solid day, going 3-1 at 157-pounds. Single-match winners for the Monarchs included Frank Marinucci (1-1) at 174; sophomore Anthony Dietrick (1-3) at 133; senior heavyweight Chris Rash (1-1).
