Purple Squad Wins Purple/Black Dual 

The Grand Canyon University wrestling team held its annual Purple/Black Dual tonight at Antelope Gymnasium, and the Purple squad -- highlighted by Stephen Towne, who was badly bloodied but not bowed in his match against workout partner Mike Fucci at 165 pounds -- defeated the Black squad, 33-12.

Towne, a redshirt senior (pictured, Phoenix, AZ/Desert Vista) who attended Menlo College in Atherton, Calif. before transferring to GCU, was the 'Lopes' team leader in wins in 2007-08 with 18. His match against Fucci had to be stopped twice after the two wrestlers accidentally butted heads in the first period, opening a deep gash on Towne's forehead. Towne was bleeding so badly that he actually bled through the tape that was wrapped around his head and had to have it replaced. He toughed it out and managed to defeat Fucci (Sacramento, Calif./Sierra College), who will redshirt this season.

GCU had more individual champions -- four -- than any other team in the tournament.
