BRISTOL, R.I.   –  Senior Colby Frost (Steep Falls, Maine/Bonny Eagle), junior Jake Craig (Norridgewock, Maine/Skowhegan) and freshman Jason Canavan-Dwyer (Keene, N.H.) each earned a spot on the podium to highlight a sixth-place finish for the University of Southern Maine Huskies' wrestling team at the 2024 Roger Williams Invitational on Saturday.
 
Frost, a returning 2024 NCAA Division III All-American, won the 149-pound bracket placing first to lead the way for Southern Maine. The Huskies' senior bulldozed his way through the competition with two wins by fall, a technical fall, and two major decisions. Frost is 6-0 to start his season. He is now 88-23 in his career.
 
On the Mat:

• Ranked first in the region at 149 lbs, Frost showed why earning back-to-back pins over his first two opponents, including a 46-second pin over Castleton's Michael Harrington. Frost earned his spot in the championship bout with a dominant 11-0 major decision win over Wesleyan's Ike Guttentag, and then claimed the title with a convincing 16-6 major decision win over Castleton's Elijah Cyr – the sixth ranked wrestler in the region.
• Wrestling at 133 and ranked second in the region, Craig battled his way to a second place finish.  A 2023 NCAA All-American, Craig defeated two regionally ranked opponents en route to the championship bout.  Craig earned a 16-1 technical fall victory over fifth-ranked Maxwell Martinez of Wesleyan, and then had a 9-5 decision against third-ranked Andrew Marchese of Castleton.  Craig fell to 2024 125-lb NCAA Champion Joziah Fry, 13-3, in the championship bout.
• Canavan-Dwyer had an impressive showing in his first intercollegiate invitational placing fifth at 285 lbs. Earning three wins on the day, Canavan-Dwyer opened the tourney with a 5:24 pin over Connor Byers of Norwich.  

 
 
Up Next:
Southern Maine remains on the road and will compete in a tri-meet at Johnson & Wales University with Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) on Saturday, November 16.  Southern Maine will then compete at the Doug Parker Invitational on Saturday, November 23 hosted by Springfield College.  The Huskies are back home on Saturday, December 7 (10:00 am) hosting their annual Ted Reese Invitational.
