 Wrestlers Roped By Mustangs In Rematch

For the second time this season, the SJSU wrestling team came out on the short end of the stick against Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
 
On Dec. 3, the Spartans were defeated 39-14 by the Mustangs. In a rematch at home on Saturday, things didn't change much as they lost 26-19.
 
SJSU (2-9-1) did get off to fast start, winning most of the lower weight divisions.
 
Cal Poly SLO forfeited the 118-pound match because the Mustangs had no healthy athletes in that category. Greg Eisner (123) picked up six points for the Spartans to give SJSU a 6-3 lead.
 
With the 134-pound match resulting in a tie, the Spartans lead was cut to 8-5.
 
SJSU's Ken Brison (143) then widened the gap by handily defeating his opponent 14-2.
 
The Spartans compiled more points when Matt Toves (158) pinned his Mustang opponent in the second round with 1:01 left on the clock.
 
After Toves' win, SJSU's lead was 19-8. That lead was short-lived, however, as SJSU's heavier weight divisions lost the remaining four matches.
 
"Their strength in the heavier divisions is where our weaknesses were," SJSU coach Danny Kida said.
