    The No. 12 ranked University of Wisconsin-Whitewater wrestling team claimed its first five matches Tuesday night en route to a 33-10 triumph over UW-Platteville in a Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference dual at Kris Russell Arena.

    The Warhawks (3-0 overall, 3-0 WIAC) tallied three pins, one technical fall and one major decision en route to the win over the Pioneers (0-2, 0-1).

    Senior Jordan Newman (Blaine, MN/St. John's Military Academy), sophomores Devin Tortorice (Wauconda, Ill./Carmel) and Mike Tortorice (Wauconda, Ill./Carmel) each posted falls to lead UW-Whitewater.

    Newman collected his fifth pin and improved to 6-1 on the season at 197 pounds in one minute, 59 seconds against Codey Meyer. He entered the week as the nation's consensus No. 1 wrestler in the weight class.

    At 141 pounds, Devin Tortorice (Wauconda, Ill./Carmel) improved to 7-1 on the year with his first pin in two minutes, 32 seconds against UW-Platteville's Luke Pradel. He is ranked 10th in the nation by both the National Wrestling Coaches Association and D3wrestle.com.

    Mike Tortorice (Wauconda, Ill./Carmel) closed the dual with a pin in just 13 seconds against Nick Donovan to move to 7-1 on the season at 125 pounds.

    Sophomore Wilder Wichman (Watertown, Wis./Johnson Creek) recorded his fifth victory of the season, an 18-2 technical fall in seven minutes against Trevor Harsh at 149 pounds.

    Sophomore Hazen Rice (Schaumburg, Ill./Schaumburg) started the dual at 133 pounds with first major decision of the season by a 15-1 score over Chase Katzenmeyer. The nation's consensus No. 10 at 133, Rice improved to 5-1 for the year.
