Zupancic notched five consecutive wins on his way to the 157-pound title, finishing the day with a 5-4 decision over Cal Poly's Chase Pami. The junior now boasts a 12-2 record this season, and has posted six straight wins.
True freshmen Justin Paulsen and Lucas Espericueta saw their first collegiate action at 133 pounds and 149 pounds, respectively, and each collected four wins. Espericueta also earned his first collegiate win by fall, pinning Nick Cordoza of Mt. Sac. JC in 4:45.
Three Cardinal wrestlers came within just one match of placing, as Brian Perry, Luke Feist and Zack Giesen each reached the consolation semifinals.
"Overall, our guys wrestled hard," said Head Coach Kerry McCoy. "We just weren't sharp today. I'm happy with the progress were making though. We`re getting better every time we come out. These next two weeks give us an opportunity to train and get better for Las Vegas."
