They came out fighting. We had some guys that handed matches to them. We had opportunities to win matches, and we didn&#8217;t do it, and they made us pay,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd luckily, we had some guys go out, which really put it all on the line, and found ways to get bonus points. Because if that comes down to criteria, we don&#8217;t win that dual meet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking about criteria, Newman had the lead and would have won the match for the Jets if it ended in a tie. In the final match between FHSU\u2019s Riah Ostrander and Neman\u2019s Caleb Wunsch in the 285 lbs weight class, Ostrander trailed 11-0 going into the last period and gave away only one more point, which meant that he lost 4-0 in the overall score instead of 5-0, and the Tigers escaped with the win.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wince credited Ostrander for not getting turned in the final period, allowing FHSU to defeat Newman.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe biggest thing was he could not get turned if he gave up bonus points; if he had given up a tech fall or a pin, we would have lost outright,\u201d Wince said. \u201cWay to not get turned, but that match, it shouldn&#8217;t go that way, that&#8217;s a winnable match for him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite a positive start with a 4-0 win by A.B. Stokes, the Tigers lost three straight matches and were down 12-4. Sophomore Marcell Dely was able to get one back in the 157 lb. bout, as he drew a penalty from his opponent late in the third period when the score was tied and gave the Tigers an important three points. After a technical loss in the next weight class, the Tigers trailed 18-7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At that moment, the Tigers went on a run with Padgett, Rodriguez, and Henry winning 5-0, 5-0, and 6-0. That run was enough to secure the win in the dual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe needed team points. And I went on and got team points for us,\u201d Padgett said. \u201cIt was a close dual, and we didn&#8217;t want it to be that close, but we needed points, so I went out and got points for us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tigers are now 5-3 overall in the season and 2-0 in the conference. FHSU will host No.21 Central Missouri on Saturday and will wrestle at No. 5 Central Oklahoma on Sunday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Padgett, whether they match against a stronger or a weaker team is the same approach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the same thing every week. Just go in and just go to work,\u201d he said. \u201cWe don&#8217;t really change anything week to week. We just go in and get ready to work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wince said the team might rotate a few wrestlers in preparation for the next week&#8217;s matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere&#8217;s a good chance we can see some other guys in. We\u2019ve got some guys that are waiting in the wings, that are waiting for their opportunity,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got back-to-back nationally ranked teams on the weekend. We can&#8217;t wrestle the way we did today and expect to come out on top next week, that&#8217;s for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Story by MAYAN PAZ Photos by RORY MOORE Tiger Media Network The Fort Hays State University men\u2019s wrestling team has never lost a home dual&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":142,"featured_media":84397,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":false,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[7349,784],"tags":[3611,15831,16126,15700,7976],"class_list":["post-84393","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","category-wrestling","tag-fhsu-mens-wrestling","tag-mayan-paz","tag-mens-wrestling","tag-rory-moore","tag-wrestling"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tigermedianet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DSC_5140-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1721","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/142"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=84393"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84393\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":84409,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84393\/revisions\/84409"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/84397"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=84393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=84393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=84393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
