Wrestling: Cards Win Ram Duals Championship, Push Record to 14-4

It isn't easy to wrestle five matches in a day, but the Cardinals (14-4) certainly made it look that way by going 5-0 at Harriton High School's Ram Duals on Saturday, January 14. The Upper Dublin grapplers won each match by a wide margin, including a 49-18 victory over Academy Park in the championship. In total, the Cardinal wrestlers lost only 10 out of a possible 70 individual matches, and were led by 152-pounder Jake Haney's five pins.
