Vikings Win at Bloomsburg, 35-6, in Regular Season Finale

BLOOMSBURG, Pa. – Cleveland State used three major decisions and a pair of tech falls to claim a 35-6 victory at Bloomsburg in the regular season finale on Sunday afternoon.

The win moves the Vikings to 8-8 overall and 4-2 in the EWL.

Nick Montgomery followed with a 14-2 major decision at 149 pounds, scoring with a takedown just 20 seconds into the contest. He continued using that momentum, tallying a two-point near fall at the end of the first period to extend the lead to 5-0 en route to the major decision.
