North Iowa Open dropped; Huskies to compete at Dragon Open:
SCSU recently made a change on its schedule as it added a trip to the
Dragon Open in Moorhead on Dec. 1. The squad was originally scheduled
to travel to Cedar Falls, Iowa to duel at the North Iowa Open, but
opted to stay closer to home by traveling to the MSU Moorhead-hosted
event. First matches are scheduled for 9:00 a.m. that day.
Huskies Have Strong Showing at Cobber Open:
The 2007-08 edition of Husky Wrestling got off to a great start at this
past weekend’s Cobber Open in Moorhead. Gabe Suarez (Las Vegas, Nev.)
and John Sundgren (Coon Rapids) both took home championships, as Suarez
won the 141 lbs. title and Sundgren cruised through the 157 lbs.
bracket to take his title. Sundgren gave up just three points on the
day while recording one major decision victory and one fall. Suarez,
like Sundgren, also recorded a major decision and a fall en route to a
championship. Several other Huskies placed as Brad Padgett (Buckley,
Wash.) took second at 184 lbs. and Tom Anderson (Belview) recorded a
third place finish at 165 lbs. Rounding out the Husky Placers were
Westy Hanson (125 lbs., Crookston), Nick Wasche (133 lbs., Cedar), Chad
Kusbach (157 lbs., New Germany) and Nick Wilkes (197 lbs., Onamia).
