    SDSU wrestlers tie school-record winning streak

    BOISE, Idaho -- South Dakota State won the first seven matches and eight total en route to a 32-9 victory over Boise State in a college wrestling dual Sunday afternoon. The Jackrabbit victory was the team's 11th consecutive dual win, tying a school record first set during the 1972-73 season and matched in 1985-86.

    The Jackrabbits, who improved to 12-5 overall, used a late takedown from David Kocer in the opening bout of the day to get on the board. Kocer's 4-3 decision over Austin Dewey was one of three matches in which SDSU scored in the final 30-plus seconds to win a bout.

    Heavyweight Alex Macki, a 5-4 winner over Harley DiLulo, and 125-pounder Ben Gillette also pulled out late victories for the Jackrabbits. Gillette rallied for an 8-6 decision over Rami Haddadin.

    SDSU received pins from 15th-ranked Nate Rotert at 197 pounds and 141-pounder Seth Gross to eventually build the team score to 29-0 through seven matches. Brady Ayers and 184 pounds and 133-pounder Brance Simms each tallied wins by major decision.

    Boise State broke the Jackrabbit run in the 149-pound weight class, where nationally ranked Geordan Martinez scored a 7-5 decision over Alex Kocer.

    SDSU forfeited the 157-pound bout, but Luke Zilverberg returned to the starting lineup at 165 pounds and outscored Taylor West 5-1 in the final period for a 10-6 decision in the final match of the day.

    The Jackrabbits will go for a school-record 12th consecutive dual victory at home on Friday, hosting West Virginia in Big 12 Conference action. Start time for the Senior Night match is 7 p.m. at Frost Arena.
