The Vikings, ranked No. 7 in the latest NCAA Division II Top 20 poll, won 4 matches by pins, 3 by major decisions and 2 more by decisions as they improved to 1-1 in duals this season.
Three of Augie’s pins came in the first period. At 141 pounds, Jay Sherer pinned Tom Thompson in just 1:29. Nate Herda pinned Jacob McClure in 2:10 to capture the 149-pound match, while Marcus Edgington was victorious at 157 pounds when he pinned Koln Fink in 2:24. Augustana’s other fall came at 174 pounds where Carl Serck pinned Travis Godbersen in 4:04.
At 165 pounds, Kyle Svendsen easily beat Tyler Reibsamen, scoring a 14-5 major decision. Luke Heine and Ty Copsey also won by major decision. Heine defeated Casey Finnicum 9-1, while Copsey downed Clint Whitley 16-6.
Also winning for the Vikings were Al Meger, who won the 125-pound bout by a 10-3 decision over Doug Thompson, and Lance Peters, who earned a 9-4 decision over Joe Skow at 285 pounds.
USF’s only victory of the night came at 133 pounds where Joe Goolsby won by forfeit because Augustana was open at that weight class.
Augustana returns to the mat on Saturday when the Vikings travel to Moorhead, Minn., for the Dragon Open.
