    Arizona State claims seventh place at Virginia Duals

    HAMPTON, Va. -- The Arizona State wrestling team picked up a pair of dual wins on Saturday en route to a seventh-place finish at the Virginia Duals at the Hampton Coliseum.

    In Saturday’s matches, the Sun Devils defeated Old Dominion, 21-15, then fell to Rider, 25-11. In the seventh-place match, ASU stormed out to a 32-6 victory over Nebraska-Kearney.

    Joel Smith (157) was the lone Sun Devil to go undefeated on the day, defeating ODU’s Tristan Warner in a pin in 1:30 before he went on to pick up an 8-5 decision over Rider’s Wayne Stinson. Finally, Smith Nebraska-Kearney’s Colton Johnson in a 37-second pin.

    With today’s pins, Smith now owns the team’s top three fastest falls so far this season, totaling six overall and four in the top-10 by time. He picked up the fastest, a pin in 18 seconds at the Cowboy Open on Nov. 2.

    Ares Carpio also picked up a pin in 4:54 in his win over ODU’s Brandon Jeske at 125 pounds.
