Don McCorkel of Hershey, Pa.,
and Mike Lieberman of Allentown, Pa., were the big winners
as Lehigh wrestlers opened their
1974-75 schedule with impressive
victories over Wilkes, 27-9,
Southern Illinois, 35-3, East
Stroudsburg, 29-6, and Maryland,
29-5.
Only Wilkes, a perennial
Middle Atlantic Conference title
contender, proved troublesome.
The Colonels split their first six
bouts against the Engineers
before Lehigh swept the last four
to make their first invasion of
Wilkes-Barre, Pa., a profitable
one.
Southern Illinois, East
Stroudsburg and Maryland
joined Lehigh in a weekend
quadrangular at Grace Hall and
the Engineers chalked up 25
victories and a draw in 30 bouts to
easily turn back the three visiting
squads.
The only surprise was Lehigh's
32-point margin over Southern
Illinois. The Salukis, coached by
Linn Long, came to Bethlehem
after chasing Navy down to the
