Darling Earns 100th Career Victory in Wins Over Indianapolis and Bellarmine

LOUISVILLE -- Senior Ronzel Darling earned his 100th career victory as Wisconsin-Parkside rolled to Great Lakes Valley Conference victories over Indianapolis and Bellarmine on Saturday in Knights Hall.

The Rangers defeated Indianapolis 31-7 and then capped the day with a 46-7 victory over Bellarmine to remain undefeated in conference action with a 4-0 record.

Darling earned his 100th career victory in the win against Indianapolis as he defeated DJ Smith 4-1. He also earned a forfeit victory over Bellarmine to raise his season record to 26-3, while he improved his career record to 101-38.

Wisconsin-Parkside, which improved to 10-2 in duals this season, extracted a measure of revenge against Indianapolis after the Greyhounds defeated the Rangers 20-19 in the Ranger Duals. Wisconsin-Parkside used wins in the final six matches of the dual to coast to the victory.

Brett Scoles won by forfeit at 157 pounds to put the Rangers in front to stay at 12-7. Josh Anthony posted an 8-6 win over JD Waters at 165 pounds to win his second straight match and stretch the Rangers lead to 15-7.

All-American Nick Becker defeated Luke Kriech 18-5 at 174 pounds and All-American Montrail Johnson posted a forfeit win to increase the UW-Parkside lead to 25-7.

James Lehman and Matt Halverson closed out the Rangers victory with wins at 197 and 285 pounds. Lehman defeated Brody Conner 7-0 at 197 pounds and Halverson topped Dylan Faulkenberg 8-5 at heavyweight to close out the Rangers 31-7 victory.

Wisconsin-Parkside dominated Bellarmine from the opening match and never trailed against the Knights in the 46-7 victory.

Darling and Airk Furseth opened with forfeit wins to give the Rangers an early 12-0 lead.

Derek Gill upped the lead to 18-4 when he pinned Tyler McCoy at 4:10 in the 149 pound bout. Anthony posted his second victory of the day as he posted an 8-0 major decision win over Mitch Rusch to push the Rangers lead to 22-7.

Becker, Johnson, Lehman and Matthew Stopka each recorded fall victories to secure the Rangers 46-7 victory. Becker pinned Timothy Edwards in 5:17 at 174 pounds, Johnson pinned Ci'Vaughn Green in 19 seconds at 184 pounds, Lehman pinned Brian Carman in 2:31 in the 197 pound match and Stopka pinned Daniel Sheridan at 1:25 in the heavyweight bout.

Wisconsin-Parkside will return to action on Wednesday (Feb. 1) when it hosts Wisconsin-Whitewater at 7 p.m. in DeSimone Gymnasium.
