    CSU Bakersfield cruises past Fresno State

    BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- The Roadrunners wrestling team were looking for an impressive result against well-known opponent, Fresno State, and got just that and then some. CSU Bakersfield cruised past Fresno 30-7, to keep the Bulldogs in their cage at the Save Mart Center

    "It was a good performance for our team," said Manny Rivera, head coach of CSUB's wrestling team. "I believe this was the best collective outing from all 10 guys thus far. It was a great environment to compete in, the fan support really showed up in Fresno. It was a great day for California wrestling to be able to reignite this rivalry."

    Starting from 157, Coleman Hammond took a 3-0 advantage over Greg Gaxiola in the beginning of the third period. An escape and a takedown helped the redshirt senior build a lead and a rising time gave him a 4-1 decision. CSUB started lead with 3 points.

    At 165, Lorenzo De La Riva found himself down to Isaiah Hokit early, but a reversal and a take down in the second period gave him the lead 4-2. The redshirt sophomore ended with a major decision 13-2.

    Bryan Battisto (174) gained a 3-2 lead early in the third period and added a point with a riding time of 1:06 to give him a 4-2 decision against Dominic Kincaid (FS).

    Coming out ready to rumble, Dominic Ducharme (184) pinned Angel Solis (FS) in the first period at 1:14 to earn six points for the `Runners.

    At 197, Matt Williams took an early lead 3-0 but Richie Brandt (FS) tied the match at 3-3 to end the first period. Williams took over in the third period to end with a 7-3 decision.

    In the heavyweight bout, AJ Nevills (FS) took an early lead with a takedown in the first period and add two more in the last 4 minutes. He went on to earn a 7-1 decision and gave Fresno State its first three points of the night against Mark Penyacsek (CSUB).

    Two first-period takedowns from Sean Williams (FS) would leave Sergio Mendez (125) down 4-1 but Mendez surged in the final four minutes to give Bakersfield another three points with a decision of 10-4.

    Adding to his team's big lead, Sean Nickell (133) did not waste any time and added five points with a 15-0 Techfall at 5:12 against Trevor Williams (FS).

    At 141, Chris Deloza (FS) got two early takedowns but Russell Rolfing took the advantage in first period 5-4. He would add 5 points to end in a 10-5 decision and give Bakersfield another 3 points.

    Khristian Olivas (FS) took an early lead with a takedown 2-1 in the first period and end the match in the 149 bout with a major decision 10-1 against Kalani Tonge (CSUB).

    The `Runners (3-4) will face off against Northwestern in San Luis Obispo, Calif. next week on Friday, Dec. 15.
