GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. – The Colorado Mesa wrestling fell in seven of the ten contested bouts in a 25-15 loss to the visiting No. 15 Chadron State Eagles on Sunday (Jan. 28) afternoon.
The Mavericks dropped the first seven bouts of the afternoon before winning the final three matches which all came for bonus points.
No. 7
Jason Bynarowicz got a gigantic win at 184 pounds as he pinned Eagle Keegan Gelhausen at the 2:46 mark of the first period. Gelhausen defeated Bynarowicz in last season's NCAA Regional Tournament which propelled him in the National Tournament.
Gabe Carranza backed that up with a 9-0 major decision victory over Dominic Joyce at 197 pounds.
In what was shaping up to be a marquee matchup didn't end up happening with the score out of reach at the point.
Tyler Doyle was set to matchup with No. 6 ranked Mason Watt but instead faced Bryan Zutavern and made rather quick work. Doyle earned a 23-7 technical fall win over Zutavern at the 6:31 mark of the match.
The Mavericks will be back in Brownson Arena on Friday (Feb. 2) evening for the annual Bank of Colorado Battle in Brownson against CSU Pueblo.
