The dual began at 125 pounds where Cal Poly's David Gonzalez got the first takedown of the match, but CSUB's Sergio Mendez bounced back with an 11-3 major decision. Carlos Herrera avenged an earlier season loss in the 133-pound bout when he earned a 9-5 decision over Jason DelaCruz to make it 7-0 in favor of the ‘Runners.
Ian Nickell posted CSUB's third consecutive victory at 141 pounds when he defeated Connor Pollock 10-5. At 149, Coleman Hammond posted an escape with 1:40 to go in the third period to edge Jacob Leon 5-4. Colt Shorts got the Mustangs (1-4, 0-2 Pac-12) on the board with a 6-1 victory over AJ Fierro before intermission at 157 pounds.
Adam Fierro defeated Blake Kastl 10-3 at 165 to put the Roadrunners back on the winning track. At 174, No.7 Bryce Hammond wrestled for the first time since the Dec. 17 Stanford dual and recorded a technical fall in just 1:35 against Cal Poly's Sohrab Movahedi.
Mitch Woods earned a shutout victory for Cal Poly (4-0) at 184 when he defeated Jesus Ambriz. For the third time this season Reuben Franklin and JT Goodwin met at 197 pounds. Franklin made it 2-for-3 on the year when he posted a technical fall (20-3) over Goodwin. The Mustangs' Spencer Empey closed out the dual with 8-4 heavyweight victory against Matt Williams.
“The score looks good,†said CSUB head coach Mike Mendoza. “I thought we came out better in the last five matches than we did in the first five. Herrera at 133 was able to get a victory over a guy who defeated him earlier this year. How we wrestled wasn't as sharp as I hoped.â€
CSUB travels to San Francisco State on Sunday for a 1 p.m. dual. The Roadrunners return to the Icardo Center next Saturday when CSUB hosts Utah Valley at 6 p.m. Tickets are available at Vallitix.com
