BCU Wrestling vs. Morningside

This is the first dual of the season for the Chargers, while the Mustangs of Morningside bring a dual mark of 2-1-1 and a No. 19 national ranking into the Newman Flanagan Center. Seven Mustangs that will be in action tonight are ranked in the latest north region ratings, while only Sammy Johnson (4th @ 165) is ranked for the Chargers. M-side's Drew Smith is third in the nation at 141, while Brian Block is 11th at 184.

The Chargers spotted the Mustangs 12 points with forfeits at 125 and 133.

141- Charger's Ethan Johnson wrestled a very tough competitor in Morningside's Drew Smith. Smith proved to be just to much for Johnson winning the match by Technical Fall at the beginning of the 3rd round.

149- At the 149lb. weight class Briar Cliff's Zack Mullins jumped out to an early 4-0 lead over the Mustang's Morgan Freese. Freese then fired back with two one point escapes and a two point takedown. Going into the 3rd and final round the score was tied at 4. In the 3rd Freese scored an escape and immediately fired off a takedown. Mullins responded with an escape only to be quickly returned back to the mat giving Freese another two and ultimately the win by decision 9-5.

157- Ben Taylor (BCU) and Jared Wildeboer (M-Side) faced off in a wild back-and-forth battle that spiraled down to a 12-6 decision in favor of the Mustang's.

165- Sammy Johnson of Briar Cliff wrestled a grueling match against M-Side's Matt Mueller but yet fell short losing by a decision of 8-5.

174- Freshman Cody Osburn suffered from a quick cradle in the first round giving M-Side's Chad Morehead the win by fall.

184- The Mustang's stand out freshman Bryan Block proved to be to much for Briar Cliff's Damien Eichelberger, winning by fall in the first round.

197- Weight and experience proved to be a definate problem for BCU's freshman Marcel Moody. As he was defeated by fall in the middle of the 2nd round by M-Side senior Joe Lockett.

285- In the last match of the evening Briar Cliff's Matt Solomon was overwhelmed by Morningside's Alex Will, losing by fall in the first round.

The final score of the night left the young charger team speechless as the Mustang's left the Newman Flanagan Center with a 50 -0 win.
