EDINBORO—The Huskies Richard Perry (Meriden, CT/Middletown) won his 100th career match, but the Bloomsburg University wrestling team lost to No. 14 ranked Edinboro University, 29-10, on Saturday night.
 
Perry became the 17th wrestler in school history to reach 100 career wins when he picked up a 12-4 major decision over Vince Pickett. Perry also extended his winning streak to 21 straight matches and improved his career mark of 100-28.

The Fighting Scots got off to a fast start using wins from their five nationally ranked wrestlers in the first five weight classes. Of those five wins four came with bonus points helping the home team to a 23-0 lead.
 
Bloomsburg got on the board when Josh Veltre (Rochester, NY/Greece Olympia), ranked 15th, scored a 7-3 win. The win improves his season record to 15-3. At 174 pounds Mike Desssino followed up with a 2-0 win. Dessino got a third period reversal to get the win.
