| Saturday's season-ending dual match was not an enjoyable one for the Spartan wrestling team. |
| |
| SJSU found 18th-ranked Fresno State difficult to pin down as it was walloped by the Bulldogs 34-8 at Spartan Gym. |
| |
| The match with Fresno was different from previous Spartan matches, as SJSU found the Bulldogs strong in both lower
and upper weight divisions. |
| |
| The Spartans dropped two of their first three matches in the lower weights, which has been a strong point for the
team in other matches. |
| |
| Arnold Khanbabian (118) lost his bout by a close score of 8-7. Greg Eisner (126) then whipped his opponent by a
score of 14-3, while Dave Love (134) lost his match 8-2. |
| |
| Ken Brison (142) easily defeated the Bulldog's Chris Salisbury 15-3. |
| |
| "The match was an important one for Brison," SJSU coach Danny Kida said. "He lost to Salisbury earlier
this season at the Biola tournament." |
| |
| Brison's victory gives him a 30-3 record and places him one step closer to the top seed in the PCAA 142-pound division. |
| |
| After Brison's win, the rest of the evening belonged to the Bulldogs. The Spartans lost the heavier weight divisions,
although two of the matches were decided by close scores. |
| |
| Shane Baum (150) was defeated by a score of 6-4, while Jack Norton lost 8-6. |
