 Wrestlers Meet Fresno Tonight

 
The SJSU wrestling team finishes its winningest season in history at Spartan Gym tonight when they host Fresno State in a 7:30 dual meet. 
 
The Spartans, currently 18-4, are looking for a win tonight to gather momentum for the PCAA championships on Feb.29 at Utah State.
 
Fresno State comes to San Jose with a 5-11 dual meet mark. The Bulldogs have fallen behind in the lighter weights in most dual meets, but have had consistent performances in the heavier weights.
 
"If we wrestle well against Fresno State, it could be lopsided," Spartan coach T.J. Kerr said.
 
Kerr wanted to guard against over-confidence, mentioning the Bulldogs always seem tough in the dual meets. 
 
One of tonight's featured matches will send defending 158-pound PCAA champion Warren Flynn, 10-6, of Fresno State against Reggie Thompson, 25-12.
 
"Reggie's been fired up all week," Kerr said. "He needs a win for a high seeding at the PCAA tournament."
 
The Bulldogs figure to be tough in the final three matches. 177-pounder Richard Sischo, 10-6; 190-pounder Richard England, 8-6; and heavyweight Robert Way, 9-6, figure to give the Spartans tough competition.
 
Tonight's meet will mark the return to action of 167-pounder Dave Brouhard for the Spartans. Brouhard, 25-4, is ranked seventh in the nation. He missed the last two Spartan meets with the flu.
