    STANFORD, Calif. -- The 23rd-ranked Stanford wrestling team topped visiting Boise State, 20-16, Thursday at Burnham Pavilion in Stanford, Calif. The Cardinal improves to 5-4 overall and 2-0 in the Pac-12, while The Broncos drop to 0-5 overall and 0-3 in the conference.

    The dual began at 165 pounds where Boise State's Michael Cuthbertson recorded an 8-3 decision over Stanford's Bret Baumbach to put the Broncos up 3-0. Baumbach is now 3-8 overall this season.

    Stanford senior All-American Nick Amuchastegui, ranked No. 1 in the nation at 174 pounds, answered for the Cardinal with a 9-0 major decision over Boise State's Scotty Bacon. The senior tallied two takedowns, three near fall points, an escape and earned 2:43 in riding time in the win. He improves to 12-0 overall this season and 9-0 in duals.

    The Cardinal increased its lead to 7-3 in the dual as junior Spence Patrick registered a 9-4 decision over Cody Dixon at 184 pounds. The score was tied 3-3 at the start of the third period, where Patrick earned an escape and two takedowns to seal the victory. He also posted 1:04 of riding time for another point.
