    Minnesota State blasts Waldorf

    Mankato, Minn. -- Second-ranked Minnesota State used four falls in eight contested matches to top Waldorf College 37-6 in a non-conference dual at Bresnan Arena. The match opened the dual season for the Mavericks, now 1-0-0 on the season.

    Returning All-American Andy Forstner (Madelia, Minn.) put the Mavericks up big early with a fall in 4:31 at 125 pounds over Jeff Ohenmous. Following an MSU setback at133 pounds, freshman Robby Fisher (Bloomington, Minn.) opened his Maverick career in big fashion with a 16-3 major decision win at 141.

    A Waldorf forfeit to freshman Jesse Westphal (Janesville, Minn.) put the Mavericks up 16-3 heading into 157 pounds where senior Darren Olsen (Davis, Ill.) tacked on a pin at 3:23. The Warriors’ Brandon Porter took a hard-fought 15-9 decision from senior Justin Turek (New Prague, Minn.) at 165 pounds but it was all Mavericks from that point on.

    Sophomore Tel Todd (Bozeman, Mont.) crafted a 5-3 decision at 174 pounds, followed by a fall from returning national qualifier Ben Becker (Fort Dodge, Iowa) in just 57 seconds. The Warriors and Mavericks matched forfeits at 197 pounds, leading the way for three-time All-American Brady Wilson (Faribault, Minn.) to close out the dual with a fall in 1:53.

    Minnesota State will wrestle four individual tournaments before returning to dual action, beginning this weekend at the Harold Nichols Open in Ames, Iowa. The all-day tournament is hosted by Iowa State University.
