GOLDEN, Colo. – Fort Hays State Wrestling went 0-2 in a double dual against San Francisco State and Colorado School of Mines on Friday (Dec. 2). Fourth-ranked Tereus Henry (197), Mason Turner (133), and Cade Lindsey (174) each won both of their matches.
San Francisco State took an early 5-0 lead by a technical fall, but Fort Hays State responded when Turner (133) picked up a second-period fall to give FHSU a 6-5 lead. The Gators won the next four matches including two bonus-point victories to take a 19-6 lead. The Tigers made a comeback effort by winning the next three matches by decision, fall, and major decision to tie the score with one match remaining. Lindsey won 5-2 at 174, Bryce Westmoreland picked up the second-period fall at 184, then Henry rolled to a 10-2 major at 197 within the run to get the team scores even going into the final match. Ultimately the Gators scored a third-period fall in the final match to win 25-19.
The next matchup unfolded in a similar fashion as Colorado School of Mines won the first match, this time by fall, before Turner put Fort Hays State on the board with a 4-2 decision. The Orediggers won the next four matches, including a fall and a technical fall, extending their lead to 23-3. Lindsey snapped the CSM run with a technical fall at 174 and kept FHSU alive, but a decision for CSM at 184 pounds put the dual out of reach. Henry defeated sixth-ranked Anderson Salisbury for the second time this season in a 3-1 sudden victory at 197, but the Orediggers claimed a fall in the heavyweight bout to end on top 32-11.
The Tigers will be at home next weekend when they host the annual Bob Smith Open on Sunday (Dec. 11). Action is set to begin at 9 a.m. at Gross Memorial Coliseum.
