Sundgren, who was ranked third in the country at 157 lbs. in the NCAA Division II latest poll, went a perfect 4-0 on the day, defeating three NSIC opponents before topping Concordia-Moorhead's Lane Lunde 10-1 in the final.
Sundgren recorded falls in each of his first three wins, posting the pins at 6:00, 2:11 and 5:51 of the matches. It is the second straight open tournament Sundgren has won, as he earned the title at the Cobber Open two weeks ago.
He now is tied for the team lead in falls (7) with teammate Tad Merritt (Canby), and is currently 12-2 on the season.
The Huskies remain ranked at 12th in the latest NCAA Division II Wrestling Poll. Along with Sundgren, Brad Padgett (Buckley, Wash.) also was ranked third at 184 lbs., holding his spot from the preseason poll.
The Huskies will be in action for the final time in 2008, as they host the 38th annual Husky Open on Saturday. Matches are set to begin at 9:00 a.m. They will resume action at the Menlo (Calif.) Invitational on January 4.
