For the third straight year, the Hofstra wrestling team has a pair of All-Americans.

Charles Griffin and Alton Lucas (West Babylon) earned the honor by placing third and eighth, respectively, at the NCAA wrestling championships Saturday in St. Louis, Mo.

Griffin, the second seed at 141 pounds, defeated fourth-seeded Nathan Morgan of Oklahoma State in the consolation finals. Lucas, a junior, was pinned by Navy's Matthew Stolpinski in 4:09 in the seventh-place match.

Griffin, a senior, finishes his career as a two-time All-American - he also placed third last season.
