The Colorado Mesa University wrestling team concluded its two-match road swing tonight against the Adams State Grizzlies in Alamosa, Colo. The Grizzlies forfeited two weights but won six others en route to a 21-18 win over the Mavericks and now have sole possesion of first place in the RMAC dual standings. Colorado Mesa drops to 19-3 on the season and 4-2 in RMAC duals.

The Grizzlies won the first six contested duals of the night in the win. The lone Maverick points came at 141 pounds where Drew Schumann earned a forfeit victory.

For the second consecutive year, Maverick Zak Slotten and Grizzly Jarrod Purrvis decided to have a marathon match. Each wrestler earned an escape in their round of choice and neither could claim points through the first three overtime sessions. In the fourth overtime period, Slotten scored a takedown near the end of the period and earned the win. That closed the Grizzly gap to 21-9 in the dual.

Nick Petersen earned a win at 184 pounds but the decision victory by Petersen clinched the dual for the Grizzlies.

The Mavericks earned a forfeit at 197 pounds to close out the night.
