| SJSU's wrestling team dropped its 10th dual match of the season, losing Friday to Stanford in a non-conference
match 29-20. |
| |
| Just as in other matches this season, the Spartans did well in the lower weight divisions but lost in the heavier
categories. |
| |
| SJSU won three of the first four matches. |
| |
| Arnold Khanbabian defeated his 118-pound competitor by a technical fall with 4:06 left in the seven-minute match. |
| |
| Teammate Greg Eissner followed suit with a victory with 1:35 left in the final round of his match. |
| |
| The Spartans ran into trouble at 134 pounds, when Dave Love lost to the Cardinal's Jeff Bradley. Bradley, ranked
16th nationally, easily outpointed Love, 9-2. |
| |
| Ken Brison (143) had no problem chalking up his 25th win of the season. |
| |
| The Spartan wrestler whipped Stanford's Mark Alex, 13-3. Brison's victory keeps him undefeated in dual matches
this season. |
| |
| Stanford was strong in the heavier weight divisions, winning five of the six matchups. |
| |
| SJSU's only win came at 177, when Jack Norton defeated the Cardinal's Eric Harber 12-4. |
| |
| Stanford's other top wrestler, Dave Lee (167), ranked 13th, defeated Jeff Profio by a technical fall with 3:13
left. |
| |
| After the match, Brison said the team's youth is the major factor in the upper weight division losses. |
| |
| "We are not weak in the heavy weight classes," Brison said. "Our wrestlers are freshmen and sophmores
who have not had much college experience." |
| |
| Spartan coach Danny Kida expected a tough battle with the Cardinals before the match began. |
