Fresno State opened quickly in the first dual against Menlo College, as Cory Borges took an 8-5 decision over Mike Rodriguez to get an early 3-0 lead. The Oaks came right back with a decision of their own to tie the match, and a 13-4 major decision from Joe Garcia led Menlo College to a 7-3 lead. The Bulldogs regained the lead with a forfeit at 149, and won two straight matches to bring the score to 16-7 before giving up a forfeit of their own at 174 pounds. Fresno State slammed the door shut on Menlo College in the heavyweights though, as Greg Gifford picked up a 21-6 technical fall at 184, Brandon Halsey made a pin in his first collegiate match at 197, and Parker made the first of his two pins at heavyweight on the night.
The Bulldogs began the second dual just as auspiciously as the first, when Cory Borges lasted a full round of double-overtime before making a takedown and a near-fall of Boise State's Cory Fish to grab an early 3-0 lead. Sean Carlson battled through a close match with the heavily favored Scott Jorgensen, but lost 8-2, setting up an even shot for the rest of the match. Fresno State dropped the next three matches after that point.
The slide was stopped when Shane Seibert pulled out a late reversal and near-fall against Lex Case to win an 8-0 major decision, but the Bulldogs' forfeit at 174 pounds sealed the match, despite a pin in the final match by Cody Parker against Andy Patrick. In action earlier in the day, Boise State also won their match against Menlo College 36-3.
Fresno State continues their homestand on Friday, when the team hosts San Francisco State and No. 4 Illinois at the Save Mart Center. The Bulldogs face the Gators at 5:30 p.m. before taking on the Illini in the main event at 7 p.m. For tickets, look online at www.gobullldogs.com, visit the Save Mart Center box office, or call 278-DOGS.
