Matmen Pin Stanford In 7th Triumph
|
| |
| "We made it seven straight in dual meets," smiled wrestling coach Terry Kerr after his Spartans overturned
Stanford 23-17 Tuesday night in Palo Alto. |
| |
| Stanford is rated 9th in the state and 5th in large colleges in the state. The score indicated the toughness of
the competition, when compared to SJSU's recent 42-0 romp over University of Hawaii. |
| |
| Mitch Steinhauer (126) posted the first Spartan win with a 7-0 decision over his Cardinal counterpart. Stanford
forfeited matches at the 118 and 134 spots, giving SJSU a 13-0 lead before going into the middleweight bouts. |
| |
| Stanford won the next three matches until 167-pounder Jim Niskanen scrapped to a 1-1 tie. Dean Prescott (177) scored
with an 8-4 decision. Donnell Jackson, currently 15-3-2 for the season, shut out the Stanford heavyweight 5-0. |
| |
| "We have the ability to become as good as Cal Poly (currently rated 5th in the state). All we need is room
to grow," said Kerr referring to current funding problems. |
| |
| Thursday night the wrestlers go to Oregon Technical Institute (OTI) for dual meets with Central Washington, OTI,
CSU Sacramento, Eastern Oregon College, and Southern Oregon College. |
