No. 2 Augustana Falls to No. 1 Nebraska-Omaha in National Duals finals

Saturday, January 22, 2005

Cleveland, Ohio - - The No. 2 ranked Augustana College wrestling team capped its best-ever showing at the NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals with a runner-up finish, falling to No. 1 and defending national champion Nebraska-Omaha 20-18 Saturday night at the Cleveland State University Convocation Center.

The Vikings, whose previous best finish at the National Duals was fifth in 2003, matched the Mavericks point for point throughout the dual. Each team won five bouts, but the difference came in the last match, at heavyweight, where Augustana had to forfeit due to an injury to Cris Bietz in Saturday morning's semifinal win over Central Oklahoma.

The dual was tied 10-10 after six matches. UNO's Steve Conlin then recorded an 11-3 major decision over Ben Caven to put the Mavericks ahead 14-10. Augustana's Tom Meester and Tim Boldt picked up back-to-back major decisions at 184 and 197 pounds to give the Vikings an 18-14 lead, but it wasn't enough to account for the 6-point forfeit at heavyweight.

Augustana will be back in action on Thursday when the Vikings travel to Mitchell, S.D., to face Dakota Wesleyan and Minnestota West Community College in a double dual. The Vikings will then entertain No. 8 Minnesota State on Friday, January 28, at 7 p.m. in the Elmen Center.
