Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. - The Apprentice School wrestling team lost
three dual matches on Tuesday in the final day of the Citrus Open

Ursinus College (Pa.), 23-18 to Simpson College (Ia.) and 29-15 to
Washington & Jefferson College (Pa.).
Against Ursinus, the Builders trailed 10-0 after the first two

scored victories in the next five bouts to ice the win.
In the next match against Simpson, the Builders opened with a
