A shorthanded UC Davis team mustered a win by fall at 125-pounds, but lost its next seven matches. The Aggies would earn another fall at 197 and a decision at heavyweight, but it was all Mustangs the rest of the way. Cal Poly improved to 5-4 overall and 4-2 in Pac-10 duals with the win.
Chad Mendes defended his No. 1 ranking for the first time Friday night, earning a 10-2 major decision over UC Davis' Nexi Delgado to improve to 19-0 on the season. Mendes has held the top spot at 141 for two straight weeks in InterMatWrestle.com's poll. He is the first Mustang wrestler to hold a No. 1 ranking since Scott Heaton and Rick Worel did so together in 1980.
Chase Pami rebounded from a loss in his last outing to earn a 6-1 decision over UC Davis' Drew Maraglia at 157. Pami, ranked No. 13 in the nation, improved to 19-4 on the season.
A number of Mustangs will compete at the All-California Open on Saturday. The squad returns to dual meet action for its penultimate Pac-10 match against Stanford on Feb. 8 at 7 p.m. in Mott Gym.
