HAYS, Kan. – Fort Hays State celebrated senior night with an MIAA victory over Central Missouri on Wednesday (Feb. 3) by the score of 44-9.<\/p>\n
A brief ceremony before the dual honored the seven Tiger seniors on the team – Joey Dozier, Tyler Dryden, Noah Killip, Bradley Little, Adam Ludwin, Nathan Shipley, and Matt Ziegler.<\/p>\n
The Tigers took an early 6-0 lead as a result of a forfeit at 125 pounds and never lost the lead for the rest of the night. Adam Ludwin received the win, moving to 20-7 on the season. He reached 20 wins for the fifth consecutive year (which includes a redshirt season).<\/p>\n
Anthony Calderon doubled the Tiger lead to 12-0 when he pinned Daide Agnew at the 4:51 mark in the 133-pound bout.<\/p>\n
The first senior Tiger to wrestle in the dual was Noah Killip at 141 pounds and he did not disappoint. Killip extended the Tiger lead by six more points with a pin at 1:50 in the first period over Caleb Crabtree.<\/p>\n
Another open weight class (149) by the Mules gave the Tigers a 24-0 lead heading into the 157-pound bout featuring FHSU’s Joey Dozier and UCM’s Dylan Lewis. Dozier, another senior honored on the night, ended his home wrestling career at Fort Hays State with a quick pin just 57 seconds into the first period.<\/p>\n
FHSU’s Kregg Clarke and UCM’s Allan Person hit the mat for the 165-pound bout with the Tigers leading 30-0. Trailing 3-2 heading into the third period, Clarke earned a key two-point reversal with 30 seconds left in the match and remained in control to earn the 4-3 decision.<\/p>\n
With the Tigers on top 33-0, senior Nathan Shipley faced the toughest opponent on the Mules roster, No. 7 wrestler at 174 pounds Archie Williams. Despite a solid effort from Shipley, Williams showed why he is among the best in the nation and recorded a pin at 1:55 making the score 33-6 in favor of the Tigers.<\/p>\n
FHSU countered with its ranked wrestler as No. 6 Jon Inman increased the Tiger’s lead to 39-6 when he scored a pinfall of his own at 1:55 over freshman Tyler Nelson at 184 pounds.
\nAt 197 pounds Cash Drylie had full control of his match and only suffered a one-point escape on his way to an 18-1 technical fall victory.<\/p>\n
In the final bout of the evening (285), Central Missouri’s Nick Lovejoy was able to hang on over Fort Hays State’s Dakota Gulley with a 5-3 decision. Despite the late victory by the Mules, it was too little, too late as the Tigers earned the 44-9 victory.<\/p>\n
The Tigers now hold a dual record of 6-5, 1-3 MIAA and the Mules dropped to 2-9 overall and 1-4 in the MIAA.<\/p>\n
The Tigers look to pick up a second MIAA win on Thursday (Feb. 11) when they head to Wichita, Kan. to take on the Newman Jets at 7 pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
