    South Dakota State posts win over Utah Valley

    South Dakota State opened its wrestling dual against Utah Valley with four consecutive victories and went on to defeat the Wolverines, 26-16, in Big 12 Conference action Thursday night at Frost Arena.

    The Jackrabbits improved to 2-6 overall and 1-3 in league duals. UVU dropped to 9-9 overall and 0-3 in the Big 12.

    Redshirt freshman Aric Williams got SDSU off on the right foot by recording a 14-5 major decision over Dylan Gregerson in the 141-pound matchup. Williams took control of the match by outscoring his opponent 9-0 in the second period, earning points on an escape, takedown, 2-point near-fall and 4-point near-fall.

    The Jackrabbits added two more bonus-point wins as Henry Pohlmeyer notched an 18-0 technical fall over Cameron Haddock in the 149-pound matchup and Colten Carlson tallied a fall over Landon Knutzen at 157 pounds early in the third period to give SDSU a 15-0 lead through three bouts.

    Senior Logan Peterson ran the SDSU winning streak to four with a 9-5 decision over Koy Wilkinson in the 165-pound division.

    After Utah Valley got on the board with a major decision by 12th-ranked Kimball Bastian at 174 pounds, Zach Carlson registered the Jackrabbits' second technical fall of the night, earning a 17-1 win over Kyle Snelling less than a minute into the third period of their 184-pound bout.

    The Wolverines pulled to with 23-16 with three consecutive wins, but Rylee Molitor put one final victory on the SDSU side of the ledger with an 8-5 decision over Isaiah Delgado in the 133-pound match.

    SDSU was aggressive from the start, totaling 17 takedowns and 10 near-falls (seven 4-pointers and three of the 2-point variety) in the match.
