Gophers improve to 3-1 with another 30 point dual
FRESNO, Ca.  – The Gophers flew out to Fresno State to defeat the Bulldogs for the second straight season, this time by a team score of 31-6. The Gophers have now scored over 30 team points in two consecutive duals and three out of four this season.
The Gophers got two technical falls and a forfeit for bonus point victories.Â
Â
The Gophers night got started with 125-pound Sean Russell who continued his recent run of scoring. Russell immediately got to his offense and got the takedown only 30 seconds into the bout before notching the nearfall.
Â
Russell quickly put an end to the match with a second period 16-1 technical fall.
Â
133-pound Ethan Lizak quickly got to his opponents left leg and took a key first period lead. After surrendering a second period takedown Lizak got back to business with a four-point nearfall in the third period to clinch a 9-2 victory with over two minutes of riding time.
Â
Against the lone ranked Bulldog Khristian Olivas, 149-pound Tommy Thorn was tied 1-1 after regulation with escapes the only scoring of the match. In sudden victory Thorn battled at the edge of the mat for the game-winning takedown.
Â
Making his second consecutive dual appearance in place of the injured Steve Bleise 157-pound Miles Patton held a one-point lead late in the third before extending his lead. Patton's late takedown and nearfall sent the Gophers into intermission leading 14-3.
Â
Straight out of intermission 165-pound Carson Brolsma got on the board nearly immediately with a takedown within ten seconds. He followed that up with two more in the period for a 6-2 lead. Brolsma finished up the bout with a 9-5 victory, including riding time.
Â
174-pound Devin Skatzka continued to excel with victory in a close match with Fresno State's Jackson Hemauer.
Â
Filling in for usual starter Mitch McKee, 141-pound Brent Jones made his dual debut against Chris Deloza or Fresno State. In an action packed bout Jones got a late takedown but couldn't follow it up with another and he fell 13-11.
Â
184-pound Owen Webster dropped his bout to Jackson Hemauer 4-1 after only two takedowns, but ample riding time for Hemauer.
Â
197-pound Brandon Krone made a victorious return to the lineup after not wrestling since the Oklahoma State dual on Nov. 18. Krone didn't settle after a 4-0 first period lead and rode out the entire second period with a four-point nearfall in the mix.
Â
Fresno State forfeited the matchup at heavyweight.
