Matmen Humble Humboldt State

It's a good thing that SJSU's wrestling team had such a successful weekend, or it would be driving coach Terry
Kerr to drinking.
"When we have had a bad week, i spend Sunday drinking beer to forget what has happened. Last Sunday i didn't
have to drink any," he said laughing.
Kerr's matmen had plenty to laugh about as well, since they 'humbled' Humboldt State Friday night 21-15, and then
humbled everybody Saturday, tying Bakersfield State and Cal Poly-SLO for first in the 18th Annual Hugh Mumby Invitational.
It was the first time in 10 years that SJSU won its own tournament. Chances are the Spartans spent Sunday drinking
beer for joy.
Friday's victory, the Spartans' home opener, broke a four meet losing streak, improved SJSU's record to 3-4, and
provided endless excitement for the 300 fans at Spartan Gym.
The match came down to the final one, the heavyweights, and Mike Rauschot, who had to tie his opponent if the Spartans
wanted to win the match, decisioned Humboldt's Bob Figas 6-5.
The Spartans' first at the Mumby Invitational came the hard way, three firsts on spectacular performances by Greg
Hill (134), Steve Dick (142), and Dean Prescott (167).
Both Cal Poly and Bakersfield State placed more men in the top three of each weight, but only the Spartans won
three weights.
Prescott and Dick won seven matches over the weekend, and Hill won five. Between them they had a combined record
of 19-0-1, Hill tying one match at the Invitational.
Tonight the Spartans meet San Francisco State at 7:30 in the "City." SFSU placed fourth in the Mumby
Tournament with 14 points. |
