Matmen Lose To Cal Poly; Stirling Wins
|
| |
| Hoping to rebound from a tough loss to the Cal Poly Mustangs last weekend, coach Hugh Mumby's Spartan grapplers
face another tough test Friday, when they host an improved Berkeley team and UC Santa Barbara at Santa Barbara
in a triangular match scheduled for 7 pm. |
| |
| The Golden Bears, looking to revenge last year's defeat at the hands of the Spartans, feature Mike Rizzo (135),
Steve Warren (152), and Larry Lothrop (hwt). |
| |
| UCSB has a star performer in Gary Bianchini, wrestling the 177-pound division. |
| |
| In the Cal Poly match, the Spartans were without star performer Loren Miller, and could only manage a win and a
tie while going down to a 31-5 decision. |
| |
| L.Q. Starling (123) ran his season record to 9-0-1 with a 13-4 decision, while heavyweight Joe Acquino managed
a draw in the only bright spots for the Spartans in an otherwise drab meet. |
| |
| With Miller out for the season with a dislocated elbow, the Spartans will have to rely heavily on Starling, a junior
from Watsonville, with "national champion potential," according to Mumby. |
| |
| The Spartans' next match is a 7:30 encounter against St. Mary's Gaels at Moraga. |
