ALLENTOWN, Pa. – Junior
Austin Roskos (Lawrenceville, N.J./Hopewell Valley Central) capped the regular season with a flourish by earning his first career championship at the Futures Mideast Tournament hosted by Muhlenberg College on Sunday.
The tournament primarily featured underclassmen that won't likely be competing in next weekend's NCAA regionals. Gettysburg sent 11 competitors to the event.
Roskos, a starter for most of last season at 174/184 who returned to the team in January after studying abroad in the fall, posted three victories in the 184 bracket at Muhlenberg. He notched his fourth pin of the season in his opening match and closed with a pair of close decisions, defeating Muhlenberg's Tommy Disisto 3-2 in the semis and taking down Nate Stine of York (Pa.) College 6-5 in the finals. Roskos improved his record to 9-6 and his victory marked the program's 13th individual title of the 2018-19 campaign.
