FAIRFIELD, Conn. – The Sacred Heart University men's wrestling team dug itself too big of a hole to climb out of Sunday against Bloomsburg. The Huskies topped the Pioneers, 34-11.

The loss dropped the Pioneers to 0-10. The Huskies improved to 4-9

Bloomsburg jumped out to a 22-0 lead after the first four matches.

Stopping the Huskies' run was Nick Palumbo at 157 pounds. He dominated John Reho in the first and third periods for the 18-2 tech fall. A take down in the final minute of the 165-pound bout gave Aidan Zarrella the 4-3 win over Trenton Harder.

Takedowns in the first and second periods lifted Ryan Bolletino to the 6-3 decision over Anthony DeRosa at 174 pounds. Unfortunately, that was the last match the Pioneers would take as Bloomsburg won the remaining three bouts.

Sacred Heart returns to the Pitt Center on February 11^th to take on Hofstra at 7 p.m.
