The Duquesne University wresting team improved to 5-1 on the season with a 40-6 triumph over visiting Washington & Jefferson Wednesday evening at the A.J. Palumbo Center.

The Dukes won nine of the 10 matches led by junior Jared Ricotta's pin at 174 pounds and a technical fall (17-2 in 5:25) at 184 pounds by senior Mark Himes.

The Red and Blue return to the road this weekend as they travel to Eastern Michigan for noon matches with the Eagles and Olivet College.
