Southern Maine defeated the Western New England University Golden Bears 39-15 in its opener and then fought its way to a 26-20 win over the Bridgewater State University Bears to improve its record to 8-3 in dual meets. Bridgewater State is now 1-3 in dual meet action, while Western New England stands at 2-4.
Fagan was one of three USM grapplers to earn a win by fall against Western New England. Wrestling at 197-pounds, Fagan downed WNEU's Carl Newman in 2:43.

Fagan now has six wins by fall this season and improves to 16-4 overall and remains undefeated at 8-0 in dual meet action.
Freshman Carl Luth (Milford, Conn./Foran) had an impressive day for the Huskies as well competing at 149 pounds. Luth won by technical fall, 15-0 (6:30), over WNEU's Tyler Richard in his opening match and then earned a win by fall against Bridgewater State's Eric Bergeron in 4:02.
