The Duquesne University wrestling team lost to George Mason, 27-10 Friday night in Fairfax, VA. Marc Allemang gave the Dukes an early 3-0 lead, but five straight DU losses put the Red and Blue in a hole they couldn't dig out of. Sophomores Rob Dempsey (165) and Jared Ricotta (184) also captured wins. The Dukes return to the mat on Saturday, Jan. 29 as they travel to Maryland to face the Terrapins and UNC-Greensboro.
