Mavs sweep their way through Tracy Borah Duals

Six Mavs go 3-0

GUNNISON, Colo.— The nation's 18th-ranked Colorado Mesa University men's wrestling team swept their way to a 3-0 day on Saturday at the Tracy Boral Duals here in Western Colorado University's Mountaineer Fieldhouse.

The Mavericks improved to 4-1 in duals on the season, defeating Super VI Regional foes and California foes Cal Poly Humboldt, 49-5, and Vanguard, 35-11, before taking down North Dakota's Minot State, 41-11.

The Mavs won 24 of their 30 bouts throughout the day as Adonias Cantu, sixth-ranked Alex Castaneda, seventh-ranked Owen Cline, Will Alvarado, Christian Pebley and Ruben Samuelson all went a perfect 3-0.

All three of Samuelson's wins at 285 pounds came via pins in a combined four minutes and five seconds.

The Mavs racked up 12 pins throughout the duals while also adding six wins by technical fall and two others by major decision.

Summaries and bout-by-bout results of each of the Mavs' duals can be found below.

CMU will now turn its attention to the heart of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference dual meet season, taking on five conference foes over the next five weeks, beginning next Saturday afternoon (Jan.1 7) at 16th-ranked Adams State in Alamosa.
