Matmen Prepare For Finals
|
| |
| "We're ready." |
| |
| This succinct statement were the words of SJS wrestling coach Terry Kerr. |
| |
| Kerr was commenting on the Spartan's recent two meets against Los Angeles State University and Fresno State University
last weekend. |
| |
| The grapplers are prepping for the upcoming PCAA finals this weekend in Long Beach, which should boil down to a
dual meet between the Spartans and Fresno. |
| |
| The SJSU matmen recorded their eighth victory of the season as they downed the Diablos 34-12 in Los Angeles. |
| |
| Dan Kida, wrestling at 120 pounds instead of his usual 118 pound bracket and Donnell Jackson (hwt) led the Spartans
by pinning their opponents. |
| |
| Rafael Meza (118), Oscar Trevino (134), Jim Lucas (143), and Dean Prescott (177) all recorded wins for SJSU. |
| |
| Mike Cunningham (150) received a superior decision for the Spartans (a win by more than ten points) and Tim Kerr
(167) won by forfeit. |
| |
| The Bulldogs of Fresno then handed the Spartans a 21-16 setback in Fresno in a tight battle. |
| |
| Once again, Kida, this time wrestling at his usual 118 pounds, and Kerr led the Spartans by pinning their opponents
in the losing effort. |
| |
| Heavyweight Jackson was upset by Mike Mendes 4-3 for only his third loss of the season. |
| |
| "Fresno showed us a lot of moves, but we surprised them," stated Kerr. "They expected to walk right
over us." |
| |
| The Spartans, who co-favored along with Fresno to win the PCAA, are currently 9-10-1 on the season, and are gearing
themselves for the finals. |
| |
| In the PCAA, the league championship is decided on a final meet at the end of the season, when all schools in the
league compete. |
