History has a habit of repeating itself, but usually not as rapidly as it did to the wrestling team.
Last week Joe Halbleib provided the winning points in a victory over Stanford.
Against Fresno State last Saturday, Halbleib was switched from the 190-pound division to the heavyweights. But
the magic didn't leave him.
Fresno was leading 16-13 when Halbleib stepped in to wrestle the final match.
After falling behind 2-0 in the first period, Halbleib outscored his opponent 9-4 to win the decision and knot
the team score at 16.
In another repeat of history, the quartet of Rudy Guevara (118), Eddie Ortiz (126), Greg Hill (134), and Steve
Dick (142) won their matches for the third straight meet.
Guevara and Ortiz both took matches that were close at the end of the second period and turned them into routs
in the third period.
Hill was losing 7-4 after two periods, but used an escape, a penalty, and a takedown in the third period to get
ahead.
Dick have five takedowns, four escapes, and one near fall enroute to a 17-3 win and a superior decision.
Fresno won the next five matches. Dean prescott (158) and Mario Rodriquez (177) both lost close contests. |
