Deaguero, a 184-pound junior, and Woodall, a 197-pound senior, came through for victories after 125-pound redshirt freshman Arsenia Barksdale (Norfolk, Va.) and 174-pound senior James Reynolds (Monte Vista, Colo.) dropped championship matches while finishing second.
Barksdale was named as the RMAC's Freshman of the Year following the tournament.
Joey Deaguero (Commerce City, Colo.), Mike Gallegos (Alamosa, Colo.) and Evan Copeland (Las Cruces, N.M.) also earned trips to the Mar. 9-10 NCAA Division II National Championships in Kearney, Neb. with top 4 finishes. Deaguero, a redshirt freshman, finished third in the 141-pound bracket while Gallegos and Copeland finished fourth at 157 and 165 pounds, respectively.
Copeland, now a 3-time national qualifier, had to survive a true-fourth place match to survive.
Redshirt freshman Noomis Jones (Arvada, Colo.) placed fifth and was just one win shy of a national tournament berth at 149 pounds. True freshman Kevin Schmitt (Arlington, Texas) went 0-2 in the 133-pound bracket.
The Grizzlies scored 92.5 team points to edge Chadron State for fourth place in the team standings. The Grizzlies led the Eagles by three points heading into the championship finals before Chadron State surpassed the Grizzlies after Brett Hunter won the 165-pound title by fall.
ASC then rallied back with the Jared Deaguero and Woodall victories.
