HACKETTSTOWN, N.J. – The Centenary University wrestling team got a chance to compete in front of an audience on Saturday night as the Cyclones hosted their Public Eliminations meet.

The Public Eliminations featured 13 inter-squad matches that help the coaching staff determine who will be in the starting lineup when the Cyclones officially kick off the 2018-19 season on Nov. 3 at the Rutgers quad meet.

Prior to the eliminations getting underway, the Cyclones took a moment to honor Josh Sibblies, one of the program's alums. Sibblies was the 11th All-American in program history and a three-year captain.

"Josh was known for his leadership and hard work ethic," said head coach John Garriques.

Once the action got underway, freshman Jacy Jones and junior Bobby Demeter did not face a challenger at 125 and 133 pounds, respectively.

At 141 pounds, junior Michael Foca defeated freshman Anthony Cecere. Foca then suffered a tough loss to freshman Cameron Bruffy.

Freshman Logan Long took down fellow freshman Stanley Wojoylak at 149 pounds.

At 157 pounds, senior Jeremy Parkhurst slipped by freshman Perry Maio. Parkhurst was then defeated by fellow senior Chris Muce.

Junior Jeremy Nurnberger got his season off to a solid start with a win over freshman Haakon Mathewson at 165 pounds.

In the 174-pound bracket, junior Alec Donovan picked up a big victory over freshman Aidan Fernandez. Donovan was then defeated by senior Jordan Juliano.

Freshman Justin Hopman got his collegiate career off to a solid start with a win over senior JT Valley at 184 pounds.

Senior All-American Etiini Udott pinned freshman David Oppis in the only match at 197 pounds.

In the heavyweight match-up junior Jerold Goodman secured a win over freshman Matt Angelov. Freshman Phillip Green pinned fellow freshman Shane Heslin for the right to face Goodman. Goodman pinned Green to close out the night's action.
