HOW IT HAPPENED
• In a match where the team lead changed hands five times, the final bout proved to be the difference, as Augsburg 174-pounder Tyrell Martin (SR, Eagan, Minn./Henry Sibley HS) scored a 3-1 win over UW-La Crosse's Jarret Hoeppner to secure the match win. Martin claimed a second-period reversal, then rode Hoeppner for the entire third period to secure 1:24 of riding time for the bonus point. Martin is now 14-3 on the year.
• Augsburg's Donny Longendyke (SO, Vadnais Heights, Minn./White Bear Lake HS), who moved into the No. 3 spot in the latest National Wrestling Coaches Association rankings at heavyweight on Wednesday, improved to 34-2 on the season with the lone pin of the evening, a 1:54 triumph over Cody Endres. Longendyke, who has now won 26 straight matches, claimed his 16th pin of the season and 25th bonus-point victory (16 pins, two technical falls, eight major decisions).
• Top-ranked Augsburg 125-pounder Mike Fuenffinger (SR, Hibbing, Minn.) improved to 25-1 with a 10-3 win over Ryan Weinmann, using three takedowns, a reversal and 2:03 of riding time to collect the victory. The defending Division III national champion at 125, Fuenffinger has now won 22 matches in a row.
• At 133, Augsburg's No. 10-ranked Chad Bartschenfeld (SR, Amery, Wis.) scored a 5-3 upset of No. 8-ranked Dustin Weinmann. Bartschenfeld, who had two takedowns and 1:52 of riding time, only allowed three Weinmann escapes in the bout. Bartschenfeld is now 23-10 on the year.
