SJSU 177-pounder Dave Brouhard was the only Spartan wrestler to make it through the first day competition in the
NCAA tournament in New Jersey without a loss.
The number eight seed won his first two matches yesterday over Stanford's Doug Perkins and Ed Wagoner of Boston
University.
Brouhard will battle Ed Branach, the number two seed tomorrow. Branach is form defending NCAA champ Iowa.
Spartan 134 pounder Eddie Baza won his first two matches before losing his third. Baza beat chris Wheland of Missouri
18-9 and Randy Miller of Clarion 19-6 before losing to number one seed Darryl Burley of Lehigh by a pin.
Baza will see action tomorrow should Burley advance.
Also probably to return is Jerry Morrison, who lost to Jerry Rodrigues.
Definitely out of the tournament are David Barnes (126) and Reggie Thompson (150), who lost their first matches.
Barnes was pinned in the first round by Chris Bell of Wyoming and was eliminated when Bell was later defeated.
Thompson lost to Mike Hogan of Hofstra 7-3 and was eliminated when Hogan lost a later match.
Hogan had beat another SJSU 150-pounder, Dennis Shea, earlier in the season. |
