MARSHALL, Minn. - Southwest Minnesota State picked up victories in six of 10 bouts to top the University of Mary 25-15 in the Mustangs' home opener Saturday afternoon in Marshall.

SMSU improves to 4-4 (1-4 NSIC), while drops to U-Mary 2-10 (0-6 NSIC).

The win earns SMSU its first Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference victory of the season and gives the Mustangs their most wins since the 2005-06 season.

U-Mary struck first as the Marauders' Matt Garcia posted a 5-2 decision over SMSU's Robert Morris at 125 pounds.

The Mustangs would go on to win the next three bouts to take a commanding lead.

At 133 pounds, A.J. Jenniges charted a 10-0 major decision over Cody Schmidt, while Brandan Schunk was a 10-3 winner over Tanner Beaman at 141 pounds.  The Marauders left 149 pounds open.
