Kutztown's Joe
Kemmerer Wins PSAC Wrestling Title
ERIE,
Pa. —
Joe
Kemmerer (sr. Mountaintop/Crestwood)
won the 133 pound
title at the 2008 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC)
Wrestling Championship Saturday night at Mercyhurst College.
Kemmerer, KU's first PSAC wrestling
champion since 1942, picked up the title with a 2-1
tiebreaker decision over two-time defending champion and
top-seeded Rick Duebel of Edinboro. Kemmerer, the No. 2
seed, avenges a loss to Duebel in the 2006-07 PSAC wrestling
championships.
Kemmerer fell behind for the first time this season, when
Duebel escaped early in the second period for a 1-0 lead.
Kemmerer evened the match with an escape at the 1:44 mark of
the third period and the match went to overtime.
With no scoring in overtime, Duebel elected to take the
down position in the first tiebreaker. Kemmerer held
on for the entire 30 seconds to keep it 1-1. Kemmerer
escaped at 26 seconds in the second tiebreaker to win the
match, 2-1.
The Crestwood High School graduate
transferred to KU prior to the 2006-07 season. He went on
to win the NCAA Division II Championship that year before
redshirting last season. (133 lb. title match

Kemmerer picked up a 16-0 technical fall
over Sean Reed of Millersville in the first round Saturday.
He pinned Clarion's Danny Galvin in 6:40 in the
quarterfinals. In the semifinals, Kemmerer decisioned No. 3
seed Jason Guffey of Bloomsburg 3-0. It was in the
finals against Duebel that Kemmerer improved to 14-0 on
the season.
Kemmerer joins KU Athletics Hall of
Famers Bruce Becker (1942) and Edward Osinski (1941, 1942)
as a PSAC Champion.
In the 197-pound
bracket,
Scott
Snyder (jr. Slatington/Northen Lehigh) finished out the day
in fifth place. He won his first match against Scott Gallo of
Mercyhurst by a score of 5-3 before getting pinned by Pat Bradshaw
in the semifinals. Snyder dropped a 3-2 decision to Jamie Luckett
and bounced back with a medical forfeit over Gallo.
John
Paukovits (so. Northampton/Northampton), at 141 pounds, finished in sixth
place. After dropping his first match, Paukovits came back with a
medical forfeit over Matt Rizzo. He followed that up with a 20-7
major decision over Lance Pitcel before dropping a 10-8 decision to
Sal Lascari.
