Ian Gioacchini (Jr.-Kaukauna, Wis.) and Marcus McCauley (Sr.-Hillpoint, Wis.) scored victories but the Lakeland University wrestling team lost to Milwaukee School of Engineering 31-22 in a dual match Friday night at the Wehr Center Fieldhouse.

The Muskies were nipped in their only home match of the season, building an early 22-6 lead in the match on the strength of several forfeits early before the Raiders rallied. Lakeland also was wrestling in just its third dual match of the season and dropped to 0-3 in duals.

Gioacchini scored the first win on the mat for the Muskies, winning at 149 pounds via major decision over Jack Rathburn 16-4. McCauley followed with Lakeland's only pin of the night, taking out Sam Rathburn by fall in 1:57 at 157 lbs.

MSOE won the final five matches, though, including a forfeit and two wins by fall. The Raiders also picked up a big lift at 174 lbs. as Devon McCune decisioned Mitchell Fucile (Sr.-Chilton, Wis.) 8-2. Leading 27-22 heading into the final match, MSOE closed it out with Devin Mahnke winning a 10-2 major decision over Aaron Almedina (Sr.-Lakeville, Minn.) at 285 lbs.

Lakeland is back on the mat next weekend when it travels to Wheaton College for the Pete Willson Invitational, a two-day event that begins Friday at 11 a.m.
