    UW-Whitewater opens WIAC with win

    WHITEWATER, Wis. -- The Warhawk wrestling team recorded three pins, a technical fall and two major decisions in a 43-3 win over UW-Platteville to open the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Season.

    Starting at 125 pounds, Zac Denny (Machesney Park, IL/Harlem) put UW-W on the board after grinding out a close 6-5 win over Platteville's Cole Ferguson. Denny led 4-2 after the first period, and then added a point from an escape in the second to head into the final period with a 5-2 lead. Ferguson countered in the third with an escape and then tied the match 5-5 with a takedown with one minute remaining. Denny immediately recorded the escape and held on for the win.

    Whitewater extended the lead to 9-0 with a win by forfeit at 133 pounds.

    The Pioneers got on the board at 141 pounds with Chase Wiggins' 8-6 win over Maxx Hubbard (Sterling/Newman Central Catholic) but it was all Whitewater from that point on.

    Cam Loomis (River Falls/River Falls) posted a 10-5 decision over Jose Collado at 149. The next six bouts ended in extra points for the Warhawks. Tom Gerszewski (Crystal Lake, IL/Crystal Lake South) put things in motion with a pin over Platteville's Aaron Knudtson in just 38 seconds. Jordan Newman (Blaine, MN/St. John's Military Academy) followed with a major decision, 11-2, over Mike Uliana at 165. TJ Decker (Pewaukee/Pewaukee) recorded Whitewater's second pin of the evening stopping the clock at 2:39. Another major decision came at 184 pounds with Ryan Aprahamian (Mukwonago/Mukwonago) recording a 11-0 win over Nathan Schmitz. Shane Siefert (Mundelein, IL/Carmel) registered the technical fall at exactly 5:00 defeating Bryant Etherton 17-1. Anthony Edgren (New Lisbon/New Lisbon) put the final touch on the night with a pin over Kyle Andreae at 2:25 for the final tally of 43-3.

    The Warhawks will split their squad this weekend to compete in the Olivet Comet Duals and Concordia (WI) Open. The Duals are hosted by Olivet College in Olivet, Michigan.
