RIVER FOREST, Ill. – Mitchell Fucile (Jr.-Chilton, Wis.) won all three of his matches to provide one of the bright spots for the Lakeland College wrestling team at its home Lakeland Duals Saturday inside the Wehr Center fieldhouse.

Fucile won three close decisions against tough competition, providing three of his team's six individual victories on the day. The Muskies finished with a 0-3 record in their matches, losing to the University of Chicago, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and University of Dubuque.

Competing at 165 pounds, Fucile defeated Chicago's Nick Ferraro 8-5 in the Muskies' 40-13 loss to the Maroons. He scored a narrow 3-2 win over Ryan Behnke for the lone victory in Lakeland's 45-3 loss to UW-Eau Claire and then added a 10-3 win in his team's 39-6 loss to Dubuque.
