The Wolverines, now 3-2 in duals this season, won six of the nine matches in which they participated.
"As a team we saw some improvements in specific areas we have been working on," Utah Valley head coach Greg Williams said. "It is encouraging to get the win and see improvement."
In the lighter weights, Portland State got a quick lead as the Wolverines forfeited the 125 weight class. The Vikings' Greg Einerson pinned Alex Smith (3:27). UV came back, winning the next three weight classes. Justin Morrill (141) pinned CJ Grandjean, Clayton Wolf won a 5-3 decision in the 149 weight class before Justin Rawle, wrestling up a weight, won a 5-0 decision.
"Justin is our team leader," Williams said. "He wrestled up and got us a big win. Marc Fenwick has been huge for us all year. He got a big fall for us tonight."
After Fenwick pinned Tony Contreras (3:39), the Wolverines clinched the dual with back-to-back major decision victories.
In 184, Brock Jardine beat Jake Schneider, 11-3 before Eric McAllister picked up a 16-4 victory over Keena Washington.
Next up for Utah Valley is the Reno Tournament of Champions Dec. 20.
