    Coe opens dual season with win over UW-La Crosse

    CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa -- For the second-straight dual with sixth-ranked Wisconsin-La Crosse, the match came down to criteria. This time, unlike the 2011 match, the third-ranked Kohawks came out on top 16-15.

    Fourth-ranked junior Jimmy Gotto (Epworth, Iowa/Western Dubuque) opened the dual with a 3-1 win over James Bennett at 125 pounds. Gotto scored the first three points of the match, including a first period takedown, for the victory. Coe went up 6-0 as senior Drew Hinschberger (Belle Plaine, Iowa/Belle Plaine) beat Connor Carstens 6-0. Hinschberger recorded a first period takedown and nearfall points in the second period.

    Second-ranked Adam Sheley beat senior Chris LeClere (Coggon, Iowa/North-Linn) 8-2 at 141 pounds for the first win in favor of the Eagles. Wisconsin-La Crosse tied the match with an 8-6 win at 149 pounds where Keegan Einerson scored four third period points to down freshman Tim Noverini (South Elgin, Ill./St. Charles North).

    The Eagles took their first lead of the night at 157 pounds, as James Lewis scored three points to end the match for a 4-1 victory over junior Dimitri Boyer (Eddyville, Iowa/Eddyville-Blakesburg). Coe tied the match again at 165 pounds, as freshman Farai Sewera (Roselle, Ill./Lake Park) scored the biggest upset of the night, as he beat fourth-ranked Kevin O'Brien 4-1. Sewera trailed 1-0 going into the third period before recording an escape and a point for stalling. He sealed the victory with a late takedown.

    At 174 pounds, junior Ethan Ball (Aledo, Ill./Mercer County) trailed 1-0 going into the third period, but used an escape and takedown for a 3-1 victory over Grant Miller. Wisconsin-La Crosse tied the match once again at 184 pounds, as Eric Twohey beat Ryan Sheldon 6-2.

    The Kohawks regained the lead at 197 pounds, as sophomore Donnie Horner (Blue Springs, Mo./Blue Springs) scored three points in the third period for an 8-4 victory over Kevin Hein. At heavyweight, senior Alex Burkle (Coggon, Iowa/North-Linn) made his first appearance on the mat since being injured in the Iowa Conference Championship match last season. Fourth-ranked Billy Mayer used an escape and takedown in the third period to knock off the second-ranked Burkle 4-3.

    With the match tied at 15, Coe was awarded a point on criteria for the 16-15 victory. Coe tallied 38 points in the match, while the Eagles had 37.

    The Kohawks return to action on Wednesday, as they open the Iowa Conference season at 29th-ranked Central. The match is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. in Pella. A link for live video will be available on the front page of CoeAthletics.com.
