By Daniel Wang ASSOCIA TE SPORTS EDITOR The wrestling team lost two matches at Dupont Gymnasium Wednesday, both to two of the nation's top Division III teams. The first loss came at the hands of Williams College, 24-21, and the second was a 32-15 setback to Rhode Island College. The Engi- neers' record is now 6-7-1 for the season. The matchup against the Ephs of Williams was quite close. The Engi- neers went out ahead 12-0 by win- ning the first two bouts, both by pins. In the 118-pound category, Mark Graham G pinned his oppo- nent with 33 seconds into the sec- ond of a possible three periods. Gra- ham, who remained undefeated for the season, dominated most of the match. Drew Rideout '95 matched the feat in the 126-pound weight class, ending the match after four minutes had elapsed. Rideout is the ranked third in his weight class in the New England Division II region. However, Williams rebounded by winning in the next six weight classes to lead 24-.12.
