Nick Amuchastegui gave Stanford its other points at 165 when he tied his match with Devin Velasquez in the final second of regulation and then scored a takedown 30 seconds into overtime for a 9-7 victory.
On an adjacent match, Cal Baptist used three consecutive pins at the lightest weights to score a simultaneous 30-19 victory over Embry-Riddle of Prescott, Arizona. The Lancers are a first-year program and they host Stanford Friday night in Riverside.
