    UW-Stevens Point defeats UW-Eau Claire in final tuneup before WIAC Championships

    EAU CLAIRE, Wis. -- Pins by Dan Squires (Muskego, WI/Wisconsin Lutheran) and Cody Nielsen (Oconto Falls, WI/Oconto Falls) helped the UW-Stevens Point wrestling team build a sizeable lead and the Pointers held on to defeat UW-Eau Claire 28-21 in a Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) dual on Tuesday evening at McPhee Center.

    Squires pinned Mathew Laugen at 3:50 at 174 pounds and Nielsen followed by pinning Henry Helland after just 54 seconds at 184 pounds to put UW-Stevens Point (6-5, 4-1 WIAC) ahead 25-12. UW-Eau Claire (6-10, 2-3 WIAC) climbed back to within 25-21 after a pair of victories, sending the dual down to the final match.

    With the Pointers ahead by four, Ben Vosters (Hatley, WI/Wittenberg-Birnamwood) closed out the win with a 7-4 decision over Zackary Sirny at 125 pounds to make the final 28-21. Vosters' win was his team-best 25th of the season.

    Both teams started the dual with one forfeit before the Blugolds went up 12-6 on a pin by Roy Munroe at 149 pounds. UW-Stevens Point went ahead for good after a major decision victory by Boone Roycraft (Omro, WI/Winneconne) and a win by decision from Logan Hermsen (Amherst Junction, WI/Amherst) prior to the pins from Squires and Nielsen.

    The win came in UW-Stevens Point's final dual before it hosts the WIAC Championships on Sunday, Feb. 14, beginning at 9 a.m. in Quandt Fieldhouse. The Pointers finished the regular season tied with UW-La Crosse and UW-Whitewater with 4-1 conference records.
