Andrew Arnold wins by fall

Andrew Arnold has had several trips to The Giant Center but could never get the job finished in winning the gold medal. Today he took a step that he has never been able to take here in Hershey and that's winning his quarterfinal bout. His thoughts on the match . . . He got on top (he's real good on top), he beat Victor Konno from NW Lehigh on top. "I got down 2-0 early. I definitely did not want to be down on 'em. I got refocused and got out on 'em. Got to my best move and hit it twice so that worked out. Goin' into this match Andrew never got out of the quarter finals with his trips to Hershey. I felt cursed. Two years in a row I lost in the quarters. I definitely wanted to get through the quarters this trip. Now anything can happen, my goal is to make it to the Finals." Thoughts of losing in the finals last weekend: He stated, "I got caught and got pinned. It happens to the best of 'em. I'm just focusing one match at a time from here on out. I don't know who I'll have in the finals. Miller, Borrowsky, he is real tough. So we'll just have to take it as it comes and see what the outcome is." Good luck to you, Andrew.
