Wrestling falls to ranked opponents at Midwest Duals

By FHSU SPORTS INFORMATION

KEARNEY, Neb. – The 17th-ranked Fort Hays State wrestling team fell behind early in each of their three duals on Saturday (Jan. 22) at the Midwest Duals. The Tigers (1-10) were defeated by No. 23 Chadron State, No. 20 Northern State, and No. 23 Western Colorado. Fort Hays State wrestlers combined for three pins and two decisions on the day.

Chadron State racked up 28 points over the first six bouts in the first dual of the day. Juan Urbina got the Tigers on the board with a pin at 174 pounds, which helped spark 15 straight points. Bryce Westmoreland won by a 7-6 decision at 184 pounds before No. 4 Tereus Henryaccepted a forfeit at his weight. Chadron State would go on to take the last match of the dual against the Tigers to clinch the 32-15 victory.

The Tigers fell in all 10 matches against the Wolves of Northern State. Tony Caldwell and Henry came up just short in their bouts, with both falling by just one point. Northern State claimed four major decisions and a pin to help propel them to a 40-0 victory.

Down the stretch of the final dual against Western Colorado, the Tigers collected points by wins from Westmoreland and Henry. Both made quick work, with Westmoreland picking up a pin in just 11 seconds and Henry following that up with a pin in 34 seconds. Caldwell followed up the pins with a 5-2 decision, but was too late as the Mountaineers won the first seven bouts to take dual 33-15.

Next up for the Tigers is a trip to Edmond, Okla. to take on No. 1 Central Oklahoma on Thursday (Jan. 26) in their first conference dual of the season. Action is set to begin 7:00 p.m.
