2006-07 Season Wrap-Up

Doug Washington '08

Third year head coach Raf Vega guided the Ephs to a record of 13-7 on the year and a fifth place finish at the New England Championships and 30th place at the NCAA Championships. Two wins in particular stood out in the regular season -- a 30-15 conquest of perennial New England power Springfield and a 20-16 upset of #22 ranked Bridgewater State.

The good news for Vega is that while he loses three-time All-American Jon Dolan to graduation he will return five wrestlers who earned All-New England honors.

Dolan, a three-time New England champion, finished fourth at the NCAA Championships at 174 and earned All-American honors for the third consecutive year – a Williams Division III first – in earning honors at 165 (1) and 174 (2). His three consecutive years as an All-American puts him on top of the Eph all-time list with Tommy Prairie '05 (125).

Dolan earned his first All-American honor as a sophomore at 165 and the last two seasons he competed at 174. Dolan posted his best finish of his career on the national scene this winter. Dolan posted a career mark of 80-12

Sophomore Ethan Cohen will be the top returnee next season as he finished 3rd at 125 at the New England Championships. First year Carl Breitenstein at 157 and junior Doug Washington at 165 both finished fifth in New England.

First year Dylan Rittenburg at 149 and junior Nic Miragliuolo at 141 placed sixth to earn sixth place and all-region honors.
