Mustangs Open Dual Season With Victory

November 12, 2008

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. . - The Southwest Minnesota State wrestling team opened the 2008-09 dual season with a 31-10 victory over Sioux Falls (S.D.) Wednesday night in Sioux Falls, S.D. The victory was head coach Jesse Nelson's first dual victory at SMSU and moves the Mustangs to 1-0 (0-0, NSIC) on the season.

SMSU started strong, rattling off wins in its first six matches of the evening. The streak included a pair of wins by fall as 133 pounder Jordon Rozeboom and Brandan Schunk pinned their opponents in 4:28 and 2:03, respectively.

The Mustangs' first loss came at 174 pounds when Sioux Falls' Travis Gooberson defeated Nick Wulf by a 12-4 decision. Tyler Johnson pinned Jacob Renken in 2:24 to keep the momentum in SMSU's favor.

SMSU dropped the matches at the next two weights--197 and HWT--in two close matches.

The Mustangs are back in action on Friday Saturday when they travel to North Dakota State for the Bison Open.
