Ryan Hluschak ended his wrestling career at the Daskalakis Center on a high note.

Hluschak (29-4) trailed 5-1 but came back to tie the match at five when his opponent James Nakasone was called for stalling just before the final period ended.

Early in overtime, Hluschak was able to get a takedown as he earned a 7-5 victory by decision, highlighting Drexel's 26-12 loss to Lehigh on Senior Day Feb. 24.

The Dragons (10-15) jumped out to an early lead when Steve Mytych (34-4) won his 125-pound match by fall.

Drexel's only other victory was by 184-pounder Dave Woodall.

Seniors Bill Martin, Morgan Remillard and Hluschak were each honored before the match.

The Dragons now move on to the CAA Championships, taking place March 7 to March 8 in Hempstead, N.Y.
