The SJSU wrestling team closed out its regular season in high style, beating Fresno State 37-11 Friday night in
Fresno.
The win ran SJSU's team record to 20-2-1 on the season and a spotless 5-0 in PCAA action.
As has been the case in all the Spartans' PCAA matches this season, the Fresno State match wasn't even close.
"We wrestled pretty well, i'd say," Spartan coach T.J. Kerr said. "But we could have won at 118
and heavyweight."
The first match of the evening was one of the only Spartan losses, a 23-7 loss by Brian Canali at the hands of
Paul Bolanos.
A win by David Barnes followed by consecutive pins by Eddie Baza (134) over Jeff Hasson, Jay Slivkoff (142) over
Ron Davis, and Reggie Thompson (158) over Bob Barton gave the Spartans a commanding 23-3 lead.
Randy Davis triumphed for SJSU at 158 before Dennis Shea lost by a pin as 142 this season for the Spartans.
"That was a little too much of a size advantage against Dennis,' Kerr said. "He actually wrestled pretty
well until he got caught."
John Torrise won a 15-8 decision at 177 over Richard Sicho and Jerry Morrison pinned Richard England at 190, before
Guy Heath was tied by Bob Woy in the heavyweight match, making the final score 37-11.
The Spartans next move on to the PCAA tournament at Ca State Fullerton on Friday. |
