Grapplers Extend Win Streak to 11

Jonathon Stelling lost to top ranked 125 pound T-Wolf Jesse Hillhouse in the openeing match 12-3 which might have woken up the Colorado Mesa. The Mavericks followed with two straight pins. Tyler Nelson picked up a pin at 133 pounds over Jacob Haney in 2:21 and Drew Schumann picked up a pin over Adam Ortivez in 5:38 to give CMU a 12-4 lead.

James Martinez and Jon Gappmaier followed them with decision victories at 149 and 157 pounds respectively and gave the Mavericks an 18-4 lead.

The Thunderwolves picked up a major decision win at 165 pounds to cut the Maverick lead to 18-8.

At 174 pounds, Maverick Zak Slotten dropped a 4-3 decision in two overtimes to T-Wolf Ray Hall. The loss was Slotten's second of the season and only his first against a non-Maverick (His only other loss was to Nick Petersen). The Mavericks led 18-11 after the match.

Back-to-Back wins by Nick Petersen and Jordan Passehl put the dual out of reach heading to the night's final match.

Paco Retana and Niko Bogojevic squared off in the final bout of the night and didnt disappoint. Retana and Bogojevic were knotted at 1-1 and headed to overtime. Bogojevic scored a takedown in the extra period to pick up the 3-1 win.
