PRONUNCIATION GUIDE Abreu - Uh-BRAY-yoo Bolich - BO-lick Delia - Duh-LEE-uh Laike - LAKE Napoli - NAP-oh-LEE HEY NOW, YOU’RE AN ALL-STAR On November 3 senior Robert Hamlin competed in the 47th Annual NWCA All-Star Classic at American University’s Bender Arena in Washington, D.C. Hamlin defeated Kevin Steinhaus on Minnesota 5-3 in a battle of two-time All-Americans and conference champions. Hamlin scored takedowns in the second and third periods and added a third period escape to win the exhibition bout. Hamlin improved to 2-0 against Steinhaus, with the previous win coming by a 3-2 score in last year’s NCAA consolation semiﬁ nals. Hamlin’s victory was the ﬁ r st for a Lehigh wrestler in the NWCA All-Star Classic since Troy Letters won a 3-2 decision over David Bolyard of Central Michigan in November 2004. Lehigh wrestlers now own a 14-13 career record in the NWCA All-Star Classic.
