MILWAUKEE – The Lakeland College wrestling team lost its dual against Milwaukee School of Engineering by the slimmest of margins, falling by a score of 24-23 Wednesday night at MSOE's Kern Center.

The Raiders won five of the nine contested matches to earn the extra point in the tiebreaker. The tiebreaking procedure was invoked after both teams finished with 23 points at the completion of all matches.

The Muskies won two of the six matches contested on the mat. Marcus McCauley (Sr.-Hillpoint, Wis.) pinned TreJon House in 1:16 at 149 pounds, and Eddie Terres (Sr.-Escanaba, Mich.) defeated Brett Raymond via technical fall by a 17-0 score at 197 lbs.

Lakeland also picked up a pair of forfeit wins while also losing two close decisions. Anthony Chiarello (Fr.-New Glarus, Wis.) was very competitive but lost a 9-7 decision to Sam Rathburn at 157 lbs., and the Raiders also earned three points when Devon McCune edged Wesley Colton (Sr.-Rockton, Ill.) 4-1 in a close match at 184 lbs.

The Muskies travel to UW-La Crosse to compete in a pair of duals on Saturday, facing UW-L at 1 p.m. and then taking on Wheaton (Ill.) College at 2 p.m.
