BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- The Pitt wrestling team went into Grace Hall and defeated No. 17 Lehigh on Sunday afternoon by a 21-12 scoreline thanks to seven individual bout wins.

In the annual in-state wrestling rivalry between Pitt and Lehigh, the No. 23 Panthers (3-1) beat the Mountain Hawks (0-1) for the second consecutive season.

Lehigh won the first two matches of the dual to lead 7-0, but Pitt responded with six consecutive wins to pull ahead and clinch victory in the matchup.

No. 7 Cole Matthews at 141 pounds started the surge for the Panthers before No. 24 Finn Solomon at 149 came from behind in his bout to win in dramatic fashion in a key contest.

Jared Keslar held on to win at 157 pounds before No. 10 Holden Heller at 165 and No. 21 Luca Augustine at 174 won their bouts comfortably to give Pitt a growing lead in the dual.

In a tight match at 184 pounds, No. 17 Reece Heller's takedown in the final seconds essentially secured the dual win for the Panthers. No. 13 Dayton Pitzer at heavyweight also earned a nice individual win over No. 11 Nathan Taylor to complete a successful afternoon for Pitt in Bethlehem.

"We're really focused on how we compete right now, and I thought we had a better attitude today than we did last Sunday against Navy," Pitt head coach Keith Gavin said. "It's important to see that progress. We won a few toss-ups today, and we need to keep developing our mentality and moving forward."
