BROCKPORT, N.Y. – Seniors Jordan Juliano, Christopher Muce and Etiini Udott all recorded two wins for the Centenary wrestling team on day one of the NCAA Mideast Regional Championship hosted by the College of Brockport.

The senior trio have all advanced to the semifinals of their respective weight classes and will have a chance on Sunday to earn a top two finish and National Qualifier status.

As a team, the Cyclones sit eighth of 18 teams with 40 points.

Muce went 2-0 at 157-pounds for the Cyclones on Saturday. Muce started his day with a 4-0 decision versus Alfred Corradeti of Ursinus. The senior then followed that up with a forfeit win over Antonio LaRocca of Hunter.

Muce will face Jawan Jones of Ithaca on Sunday in the semifinals. He earned a 6-1 decision over Jones when the two faced each other in the regular season.

Juliano posted his two wins at 174-pounds via major decisions. He posted his first major decision by a 14-3 score against Gianno Silba of SUNY Cortland. Juliano then followed that up with a 13-4 major decision versus Aidan McNally of Scranton.

Juliano will now take on Chibueze Chukwuezi of Ithaca on Sunday in semifinal action. The two did not meet when Centenary hosted Ithaca in January.

Udott earned his wins on Saturday via decision and a fall. He started his day with 10-3 decision over Alex Mirabella of The College of New Jersey. The top ranked wrestler in the nation at 197-pounds then needed just 1:34 to post the fall versus Dalton Elias of Ithaca. It was Udott's second win of the season versus Elias.

Redshirt junior Alec Donovan will have a chance to potentially grab a top seven finish at 165-pounds on Sunday. After advancing with a bye through the first round, Donovan suffered a hard fought loss to John Garda of TCNJ. He then bounced back with a fall versus Thomas Marrone of SUNY Oneonta.

Donovan will face Jackson Bell of Brockport on Sunday.
