    Cal State Fullerton edges Arizona State

    Tempe, Ariz. -- Teddy Astorga delivered the key pin, John Drake won a pivotal overtime bout and heavyweight Kurt Klimek won the final decisive bout Saturday afternoon as Cal State Fullerton pulled out a 20-18 Pac-10 wrestling dual meet victory at Arizona State.

    The win in the final dual meet of the season improved the Titans' record to 11-6 overall and 5-3 in the Pac-10.

    Each team won five bouts in the nip and tuck affair. Each captured three decisions and one technicall fall. But the Titans' won because of the 6 team points Astorga captured with a fall at 149 pounds over Vicente Varela at 2:54 compared to the four ASU got from a major decision.

    T. J. Dillashaw provided the other Titan bonus points with a technical fall at 133 (16-0) over David Prado.

    ASU held an 18-14 lead after eight bouts. But Drake won the 197-pound bout in sudden victory, 5-3, over Jake Crawfor to put Klimek in a position to win with a decision, which he got over Imaniborn Etueven at 5-0.

    Both teams will next compete in Titan Gym on March 1-2 in the Pac-10 Championships.
